Review of "North - The New Nordic Cuisine of Iceland" by Gunnar Karl Gislason & Jody Eddy

"North  - The New Nordic Cuisine of Iceland"

This is a sumptuous book.  It starts with the jacket cover with an enticing "nouveau" dish on the front and on the back a photo of  waters chock full of blue ice.  Both are inviting and stunning. The stories, photographs and recipes are very engaging and maintain the same standard of quality throughout.  Icelandic cuisine has a lot of novel and broadening aspects for an American palette and cook.  Though this is the 'new' cuisine there are many fairly simple recipes that any cook can approach.  Read this book for any number of reasons:  the stories of people and food, photographs or recipes.
