Markus Olsen

Markus Olsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and has worked as a chef in more than a dozen countries. He is a keen advocate of eating a diet that is free from lectins as far as possible and he has followed this diet himself for the last two years.

Now working for a top hotel in New York, Markus lives on the outskirts of the city and writes books that help people to understand what foods are best for them and how to prepare them in a range of exciting and innovative recipes.

In his spare time, Markus enjoys travelling and getting new ideas for his culinary creations. He loves fine wine and trying out new restaurants whenever he can, but he is equally happy hiking and camping in the countryside near his home.
