“Slippurinn, an internationally renowned restaurant in Iceland's Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) has just released its first book featuring Chef Gísli Matt's unique approach to combining local and traditional cuisine with contemporary flavors.
Slippurinn is a family-owned restaurant located in a historic shipyard building in a small town that was forever changed by the 1973 volcanic eruption that caused a lava flow.
Chef Gísli Matt drew inspiration from the remarkable environment, where plants grow on mountains formed by lava, to create a menu that respects local culinary traditions while pushing the boundaries of contemporary cuisine.
The book is the result of extensive research into traditional Icelandic dishes and how to adapt them for modern palates and takes readers on a journey into Chef Gísli Matt's fascinating culinary world and island life. It's a must-read for anyone who loves Nordic cuisine or wants to experience something truly unique.”
