ISBN: 9781838663117
Publication date: 01/10/2021

The debut from rising star chef Gisli Matt of Slippurinn, the international destination restaurant in Iceland's Westman Islands. Chef Gisli 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, Matt created a menu that both respects the local and traditional and pushes boundaries of contemporary cuisine. His first book takes the reader right to the heart of Matt s fascinating culinary world and island life.
Gisli Matt hails from a long line of Icelandic cooks and fishermen. After training as a chef and working in restaurants including Eleven Madison Park and Aska in New York, he decided to return to Iceland and open the restaurant of his dreams: Slippurinn. Nicholas Gill, the co-founder of the web site New Worlder, is an acclaimed food and travel writer, who divides his time between New York and Peru.
