Name: Leerberg-Kristensen, Ulla (1939-)

Historical Note: Ulla Leerberg-Kristensen was born in 1939 and grew up on the eastern side of the Danish island Funen on a farm with farm workers, so good and well-prepared food has always had a high priority. Her cooking experience derives, first, from skilled housewives, followed by attending a school of home economics, after which she held more independent and responsible positions in fine middle-class and upper-class homes as well as manor houses. After a year in the kitchen at a folk high school north of Trondheim in Norway, she applied for, and obtained, the position as a cook in Bohr’s Honorary Mansion at Carlsberg. Leerberg-Kristensen has many good memories from her employment there, not least time spent with Bohr’s grandchildren, who regularly came to the kitchen to say hello. The summers at Bohr’s summer house in Tisvilde on northern Zealand, to which the entire “menagerie” moved for a couple of months each year, also gave unforgettable and invaluable memories of the Bohr family.
