Sigurds Class: Smørrebrød and Snaps Masterclass is a cooking and tasting class in Copenhagen, Denmark, held at Amaliegade 14, 1256 København K, a street in the Frederiksstaden district close to Amalienborg Palace and the harbour. The class is run by Sigurds Class, and bookings are made by email to the address given by the operator. The session lasts about two hours and focuses on two staples of Danish eating and drinking: smørrebrød, the open-faced sandwich served on dense rye bread, and snaps, the chilled aquavit traditionally served alongside it.
The format is a hands-on masterclass rather than a walking tour, so the activity takes place in one location instead of across several stops. Participants learn how smørrebrød is built from layers of bread, spread, main topping and garnish, and the listing says that three pieces of smørrebrød with seasonal ingredients are made and eaten during the class. The food is mostly savoury, as smørrebrød toppings usually include fish, meat, egg, cheese and pickles, and the pairing with snaps shows how the spirit is used to complement salty and fatty flavours. A sweet course is not listed.
Included are the three pieces of smørrebrød with seasonal ingredients and beverages, which cover the snaps and any accompanying drinks. Transport is not included, but the location in the central waterfront area is within walking distance of Nyhavn and the Kongens Nytorv transport hub. The price is from DKK 595 (roughly USD 92) per person, which is moderate by Copenhagen standards for a two-hour experience with food and drink.
Group size, language and dietary substitutions are not specified in the listing, so visitors should ask the operator by email before booking, especially for gluten-free, vegetarian or allergy needs, since rye bread and fish are central to the dishes. Visitors who do not drink alcohol should ask about alternatives to snaps. As the class is participatory, the pace is relaxed and instruction is given step by step, which suits beginners and keen cooks alike.
