Iceland is not only beautiful and magical with kindhearted people, but the food is also incredible. Fresh, clean, balanced, local, warm, bright. I could eat langoustine all day, everyday.

Not pictured are the 26 pyslur (Icelandic hotdogs) we ate on this trip, Chinese noodles from Old Wharf Noodle House, pastries from Braud & Co, all the skyr, the local breads and butter, and a few other food items. Also, Icelandic water is superior ✨

What a beautiful privilege it is to have been able to visit this place twice now. We tried new places this time around, except for Pakkhus and Seabaron. On our first trip, we did the entire ring road and tried Messin, Cafe Loki, Mia’s Fish & Chips, Nail’d It Fish & Chips, Kristjan’s bakery, Kaffi Ilmur, Vogafjos Farm Resort, Kaffi Lára El Grillo Bar, Strondin, Kaffi Krus and a few other places.

Feeling extra grateful and thankful for the opportunity to travel and explore a part of the world I’m not from. Learning and appreciating people, their cultures, and their foods from all parts of the world has made me a better person. I hope as I continue to dive into the world of sourdough that you’ll join me in exploring everything this world has to offer through food, through stories, through our shared human experiences.

On other news, I’m currently making a crossiant sourdough loaf. I’ll be sharing that soon! Stay tuned 🫶🏼

Until then, what are you looking forward to this fall?
