This week’s menu draws recipes and inspiration from several of Iceland’s best-known chefs and restaurants, bringing restaurant-style dishes into the home kitchen.
The selection begins with Sigurður Laufdal’s vodka pasta from Lola, followed by Rúnar Marvinsson’s classic salted-cod mash. Midweek, readers can make Óskar Finnsson’s steak pasta and Hrefna Rósa Sætran’s cod with a crisp almond crust.
Friday brings Ingibjörg Þorvaldsdóttir’s sourdough pizza with avocado from Pure Deli. Saturday features skewered beef and accompaniments from Michelin chef Þráinn Freyr Vigfússon’s Sumac, a restaurant known for its strong Middle Eastern influence.
The Sunday menu includes fish cheeks and Leifur Kolbeinsson’s La Viña cheesecake from La Primavera. The stated aim is simple: to make dinner more special and get a taste of a good restaurant without leaving home.
