Slippurinn. Recipes and Stories from Iceland

Lo chef Gísli Matt ha costruito Slippurinn con la sua famiglia in un edificio storico che ospitava un cantiere navale, in una piccola cittadina il cui paesaggio è stato plasmato dalla colata lavica di un vulcano eruttato nel 1973. In questo ambiente incredibile, in cui le piante crescono su montagne laviche, Matt ha ideato un menu che rispetta le tradizioni locali e al tempo stesso supera i confini della cucina contemporanea. Il suo primo libro porta il lettore dritto al cuore dell’affascinante mondo culinario e della vita isolana di Matt. . Chef Gísli 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, Gísli created a menu that both respects the local and traditional and pushes boundaries of contemporary cuisine. Gísli 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, Gísli’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.
