Slippurinn: Recipes and Stories from Iceland
(Part of the Phaidon Global Cookbooks Series)
'To eat at Slippurinn is blissful. To have Matt's recipes is a gift.' - Diana Henry
The debut from rising star chef G sli Matt of Slippurinn, the international culinary-destination restaurant in Iceland's Westman Islands
Chef G sli Matt built Slippurinn with his family in a historic shipyard building of a small town whose landscape was changed forever by the lava flow from a 1973 erupted volcano. In this most incredible environment, where plants grow on mountains created out of lava, G sli created a menu that both respects the local and traditional and pushes boundaries of contemporary cuisine.
G sli is forging his own way in gastronomy today. He has captured the attention of the world's culinary cognoscenti, including Ruth Reichl and Diana Henry among others, and this, G sli's first book, reflects his extensive research into traditional Icelandic dishes to preserve local culinary knowledge while applying a modern approach for a cuisine to be enjoyed by locals and international foodies.
It takes the reader right to the heart of his fascinating culinary world and island life. A book for lovers of all things Nordic and for food lovers the world over.
