''To eat at Slippurinn is blissful. To have Matt-s recipes is a gift.- - Diana Henry
The debut from rising star chef G-i Matt of Slippurinn, the international culinary-destination restaurant in Iceland-s Westman Islands
Chef G-i 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-i created a menu that both respects the local and traditional and pushes boundaries of contemporary cuisine. G-i 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-i-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
