Jesper’s talent and passion for oysters is what got him invited to China to promote oysters. He was asked to participate in several friendly competitions with other chefs from around the world. Eurest was delighted to support him in this endeavour, as Director of Operations for Eurest, Kristian Hofman, explains: “When working with food craftmanship you work with fresh ingredients and passion for cooking. It is therefore a matter of course that we support a food craftsman like Jesper, who is clearly passionate about being the best at what he does (opening oysters). And since oysters are an ingredient that requires freshness and great passion to prepare, we felt we had to support this.” The hope is that this exciting experience will inspire Jesper and that he will bring all that inspiration home to his job at Eurest.<\/p>\n

Da Jesper M\u00f8lg\u00e5rd Knudsen for nyligt blev pr\u00e6senteret for en helt exceptionel mulighed for at komme til Kina, takkede han selvf\u00f8lgelig ja. P\u00e5 grund af sit store talent og passion for mad, blev Jesper inviteret p\u00e5 en rundrejse i Kina, hvor han sammen med et internationalt hold, promoverede \u00f8sters til kineserne. Gennem en r\u00e6kke konkurrencer i b\u00e5de Beijing og Fuzhou, indviede Jesper og de andre kokke deres kinesiske publikum i \u00f8stersens verden.<\/p>\n
Eurest var glade for at kunne sponsorere Jesper. Kristian Hoffman, Driftsdirekt\u00f8r for Eurest, fort\u00e6ller om beslutningen om at bakke op om Jespers rejse: \u201dTil dagligt arbejder vi i Eurest med friske r\u00e5varer og stor passion for madh\u00e5ndv\u00e6rket. Det er derfor en selvf\u00f8lgelighed at bakke op om en s\u00e5 passioneret madh\u00e5ndv\u00e6rker som Jesper, der br\u00e6nder for at v\u00e6re verdens bedste p\u00e5 sit omr\u00e5de, nemlig \u00f8sters\u00e5bning. Og da \u00f8sters netop er en r\u00e5vare, som kr\u00e6ver friskhed og stor ekspertise at tilberede, er dette selvf\u00f8lgelig noget, vi vil st\u00f8tte op om.\u201d Forh\u00e5bningen er nu, at denne helt specielle oplevelse vil give masser af inspiration, som Jesper kan tage med i sit arbejde hos Eurest.<\/p>\n
Jesper har i mange \u00e5r konkurreret i \u00f8sters\u00e5bning p\u00e5 tid. Konkurrencerne g\u00e5r i alt sin simpelhed ud p\u00e5, at \u00e5bne et bestemt antal \u00f8sters hurtigst muligt. En disciplin som kr\u00e6ver \u00f8velse og teknik. Indtil videre har Jesper vundet guld til Verdensmesterskaberne i 2013 og hele fem gange har han vundet Danmarksmesterskaberne.<\/p>\n
Et af h\u00f8jdepunkterne p\u00e5 rundrejsen var blandt andet turen til Den Kinesiske Mur, hvor en af konkurrencerne blev afholdt. Selv siger Jesper om oplevelsen og turen generelt: \u201dDet var noget helt specielt, en enest\u00e5ende oplevelse. At f\u00e5 muligheden for at vise sit h\u00e5ndv\u00e6rk frem, at vise andre det, jeg br\u00e6nder for. Og s\u00e5 med st\u00f8tte fra ens arbejdsplads!\u201d Jesper fort\u00e6ller videre, at han ville \u00f8nske at flere interesserede sig for \u00f8sters\u00e5bning. \u201dFor mig har det betydet muligheden for at forf\u00f8lge min passion, at blive den bedste indenfor mit felt, samtidig med at jeg rejser verden rundt.\u201d Indtil videre er det blevet til ture til Nordamerika, rundt om i Europa og nu ogs\u00e5 Asien.<\/p>\n
En kontinuerlig str\u00e6ben efter at dygtigg\u00f8re sig og blive den bedste, har bragt Jesper verden rundt, fra Danmark til Kina og Den Kinesiske Mur. Det g\u00f8r Jesper til en af Eurests Great People.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
To open oysters on top of the Chinese wall is not something anybody gets to experience. But that is exactly what Head Chef at Eurest, Jesper M\u00f8lg\u00e5rd Knudsen, did on his recent trip to China. Being an active competitor in oyster opening, Jesper was invited to show off his talent on a promotional tour around China. He did this with the support of, and sponsorship from, Eurest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":100010017,"featured_media":9327,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
