Leading the expedition for native flavors is Noma, a visionary modern restaurant in a 250-year-old Copenhagen shipping warehouse. Chef René Redzepi is half Macedonian but 200% Dane, and he's on a mission to put the unique tastes of the North Atlantic...
...when not at his home of 30 years in the Swiss wine-growing village of Bursins, he remains in perpetual motion. In addition to his U.N. work he chairs and partially funds the Geneva-based Global Harmony Foundation, whose projects have included a hospital in Niger for victims of Noma, a flesh-wasting disease, and three girls' schools in Afghanistan's Tora Bora region.

Says Dr. John Champlin, 32, CMRl's former screening officer: "It's quite difficult to explain why you can help someone who's missing half his face from noma, but can't help someone who's paralyzed by polio. The medical distinction just isn't that clear to the people...
