...embraced the seasonal/regional/sustainable aesthetic, but at Noma, Redzepi shows you - with every bite - why it is important.

Add to that the high cost and increased risks involved with multiple births: Veleva cites a 2000 study that found that, compared with singleton deliveries, the costs for twins, triplets and higher-order deliveries are approximately four, 11 and 18 times greater, respectively, mostly due to maternal and neonatal complications...
