Background
Lena Sørensen is Editor-at-Large for Europe, covering the continent’s fine-dining capitals from a base split between London and Copenhagen. Her remit spans the Nordic kitchens that reset the conversation a decade ago and the London rooms now setting the next agenda.
She reviews for precision and intent: the seasoning of a single course, the calibration of a wine list to a menu, the difference between a room chasing volume and one holding its standard. She has a particular eye for the immigrant kitchens — Chinese, Levantine, South Asian — quietly producing some of Europe’s most exacting cooking.
Editorial Focus
- Nordic dining — Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm — the region’s continuing influence.
- London fine dining — Mayfair tasting menus to Shoreditch wood-fire rooms.
- European immigrant kitchens — the Chinese, Levantine, and South Asian rooms redrawing the map.
- Wine-led rooms — where the list, not the menu, is the reason to book.
