Brian Lambæk is the Copenhagen-based part of the Danish food blogger-quartet Gastromand.dk. Brian is uncompromising when it comes to the food he prepares, which results in the use of vast amounts of time, equipment and butter in his kitchen. With his masculine approach to cooking, the star of his plate will always be high on protein.
