Chefs in Stockholm prepare huge banquet in honour of Nobel laureates In a bustling kitchen in Stockholm’s city hall, a team of 47 chefs from around Sweden work for four days to prepare an elaborate meal for 1,350 guests at a banquet taking place on Tuesday in honour of the Nobel laureates in physics, economics, chemistry, medicine and literature. The team is working under the direction of Sebastian Gibrand for the main and starter courses, a 31-year-old chef who is directing the banquet for the first time in his career. The elaborate three-course meal is a closely guarded secret until it is served to guests at the banquet.
