The awe-inspiring aurora borealis, hiking, and thermal baths are enough to get any traveler to Iceland, but you might also find yourself surprised by the incredible food they have to offer as well! The beautiful and challenging terrain has led to some truly unique cooking techniques in smoking, preserving, and geothermal baking. Join Abby Canfield in class to make homemade rugbraud with herbed butter and pickled winter vegetables; onion skin smoked beets with herbed skyr; kjotsupa (braised lamb and root vegetables) with roasted carrot puree and dill oil; and round out the meal with ponnukukur (Icelandic pancakes with cardamom, cinnamon poached pears, and whipped skyr).
