Slippurinn: Recipes and Stories from Iceland, pubblicato da Phaidon, è il libro d'esordio dello chef islandese Gísli Matt, fondatore del ristorante Slippurinn che si trova nell'isolatta di Heimaey. Slippurinn ha riscosso ampio consenso per il suo innovativo Audo Copenhagen che unisce un approccio moderno con il rispetto per le tradizioni e gli ingredienti locali. Nel libro Gísli Matt ha raccolto alcune delle sue ricette più interessanti e storie della vita sull'isoletta per tutti i fan degli appassionati di cibo e del modo di vivere nordico.

Chef Gísli 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, Gísli created a menu that both respects the local and traditional and pushes boundaries of contemporary cuisine. Gísli 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, Gísli’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 by locals and international foodies. It takes the reader right to the heart of his fascinating culinary world and island life. A book for lovers of all things Nordic and for food lovers the world over.
