Emiliano Trebbi
Sous-chef
The Caribbean Housewife
I am the sous chef at The Caribbean Housewife. I was born in Rome, Italy.
Mymother is from Catania, Sicily and my father from Rome. I started cooking since I was little; helping my Sicilian grandmother in the kitchen making classic dishes such as cannoli, caponata, and parmigiana. My cultural background can be traced back to
my work as a chef, but I also like to use Asian inspired techniques. I fell in love with Japanese cuisine after my travels to Tokyo. It inspired me to learn techniques and
recipes from Japan and cuisine from other Asian countries, such as Korea and Philippines.
When I moved to Copenhagen from Rome in 2018, I started working at Bæst and then Mirabelle. In the end, I found my place at The Caribbean Housewife, where Jamain Brigitha’s eclectic approach to food is similar to mine.
Working predominantly with vegetarian, vegan, and plant-based recipes is what got my attention and I appreciate that I get the space to create new signature dishes here.
Ume Asian Market
shop
vesterbro
» Even-though not a restaurant, this Asian supermarket in Kødbyen deserves a
mention as a solid provider of Korean and Japanese products, such as spices,
sauces, sake, fresh herbs, fruit, and veggies. Everything you need to make a proper Korean or Japanese recipe for both amateur and professional chefs. It’s one of our favorite “secret” spots to get hard to find products for our own menu. «
Il Buco
bakery, breakfast, brunch, café, dinner, lunch, natural wine, open sundays, pasta
amager
» A hidden gem tucked away on Njalsgade. Everything served at this restaurant is made in house: bread, pasta, pastry, and charcuterie. They use only Danish organic products, which are masterfully transformed with the help of a great team.
They also import natural wine from small, passionate producers and wineries in Italy. It’s the first restaurant I went to in Copenhagen and it only got better and better. «
Diamond Slice
pizza
nørrebro
» An authentic New York style pizza-by-the-slice-joint in the heart of Nørrebro.
Run by chef Jan Kopacz, my former head chef at Bæst. Guaranteed quality and a love for food, that you can taste in every slice. «
