More (gourmet) Icelandic food

22 Oct

Gourmet Iceland



Thanks to “CH” (whoever you might be!) for the comment this morning on where else to find information on Icelandic food:

“Also – check out the http://www.icelandgourmetguide.com for traditional recipes and restaurant guides for all of Iceland – plus a who’s who of top chefs!”

So I went on over to Gourmet Iceland which led me on a link chasing adventure. Next came chef Volundur Volundarson’s web site.

Here’s a video of him doing a segment for the Today Program at the Blue Lagoon (by someone standing nearby).
