About CPH Hospitality College

CPH Hospitality College has created 31 recipes based on invasive species, in collaboration with the Danish EPA. The cookbook can inspire the Danes to harvest oysters, herbs, crayfish, berries and snails in the nature and go home and cook by themselves. A group of chef students has explored the natural ingredients and developed some recipes based on Helix Aspersa. The college website: www.hrs.dk

Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks, oil and a little salt to a mayonnaise.
Chop parsley, grate garlic and a little lemon zest and mix in the mayonnaise.
Cut the veal meat into small cubes and put it and the snails in a food processor (blend only very little at a time as it should not be mash but just shredded and still have a rough structure).

Bread:

Cut bread into ultra-thin slices / chips, grate them in a little olive oil in a pan until lightly golden. Then rub them with garlic.
