From Iceland's premier chef and the owner of
Reykjavik's Restaurant Dill. Iceland is known
for being one of the most beautiful and
untouched places on earth, and a burgeoning
destination for travelers lured by its striking
landscapes and vibrant culture. Iceland is also
home to an utterly unique and captivating food
scene, characterized by its distinctive
indigenous ingredients, traditional farmers and
artisanal producers, and wildly creative chefs
and restaurants. Perhaps no Icelandic restaurant
is as well-loved and critically lauded as chef
Gunnar Gislason's Restaurant Dill, which opened
in Reykjavik's historic Nordic House in 2009.
"North "is Gislason's wonderfully personal
debut: equal parts recipe book and culinary
odyssey, it offers an unparalleled look into a
star chef's creative process."North "is also a
celebration of Iceland itself--the inspiring
traditions, stories, and people who make the
island nation unlike any other place in the world.
