Leif Sørensen, from Faroe Islands, began his career studying biology at university, but left his studies to cook and then worked in some of the best restaurants in Scandinavia. His dream was to return to the Faroe Islands to introduce a new Nordic cuisine to his countrymen , which would however still be loyal to its origins, and so he did and opened the KOKS restaurant. Now he is opening another restaurant in Torshavn.
