Roast Puffin in Iceland

This wild sea bird was served up at the Vox restaurant in Reykjavik Iceland. The flavour was quite strong and reminiscent of wild goose. Served with beets two ways, and burnt butter, this was a very memorable appetiser.

Iceland... more than just a frozen island in the North Atlantic Ocean. We spent a few days here eating the traditional local food as well as sampling the New Nordic Cuisine produced by the Iceland's top chefs.
What would a trip to Iceland be without a stop at the Reyka Vodka distillery, the Bæjarins beztu pylsur, or some putrified shark? We did it all so take a look:

What’s Hot

Grilled Sambol Shrimp

Such incredible flavour!

The Indonesian Sambol marinade gives just enough heat and a ton of flavour to these succulent grilled shrimp.
Make Vanilla Extract

Make at home for deeper flavour

I know you can buy this stuff in the grocery store... But if you make it at home you can get better control of the flavour.
Bread Pudding

With Glenfiddich Whisky

Not an average bread pudding, this one has Glenfiddich single malt in it... and don't forget the Glenfiddich whisky sauce!
Short Bread

Melt in your mouth

Gran always said that it was the Rice flour that made the difference.
Microwave Peanut Brittle

So Easy!

This stuff almost makes itself...
