consume you futures i'm on a journey to meet food lovers around the world and get the inside track on the best cities through the food they love. reykjavik is the northernmost capital city in the world settled by enormous arriving bison. it's very remoteness has forced people to listen to their surroundings and go see the movie to stay alive. iceland was established as a republic in one thousand forty four and graphically. to repine some would say born two thousand and eight its banking system imploded the cards most of its value people lost life the hoods. so i mean treat to meet one man who despite

starting his restaurant at what seemed like the worst possible time managed to turn crisis into opportunity. good never called just listen is the owner of dill his restaurant is credited with pioneering the use of locally sourced ingredients which has helped to revitalize traditional food production. time to story about dill. so reopen the bill business two thousand and seven we had little it justs. started working on our own project. when the crisis hit the country and. we kind of. you could say we're good we got kind of scared yes you know sylvia the investors the gypped of the walking and we were kind of. alone there and we were going to

have like a full blown kitchen with a whole lot of chips and the same goes for several but we just had to train of change the whole thing and make you fine dining. on the new way we actually ended up starting the two of us. we had no employees and we literally we worked like this twenty four seventh's. how do you survive that thing either it was because we actually minutes to serve really nice well flavored food. and good service already it was just pure luck. or a little bit of. what is the inspiration for your restaurant now we started up like going for the iceland degree deals looking up whatever we could actually find and after a certain time felt a little bit like the box was closing and that we needed something more so i

started digging into like old recipes sometimes on up specific method on how to make of this or that. and that kind of inspired me a whole lot a lot of new plates as well that inspired me to go out there and look for producers up in the countryside that were doing something that. the birds like a kind of old school or something that were done back in the days. for example how albert is making his. hello this is caught. in my area there were about thirty produce source allow this all the way hydro this. but now i'm the only one left the smaller ones has been bought by big oil companies

some have gone bankrupt. you can fulfill every tell me how likely been fission i'm sixty years old. i started early as old i see working and as a profession militiaman fifteen years old. how have you managed to survive this has been difficult and i have been many times on on. on the brink of. bankruptcy you know but i vowed to do this this is the only thing i know to door so i will continue as long as i can stand. i'm so happy with goodnight and many others here that they respect the old method how we produce it you know i produce it the old way as my grandfather taught my father and my father taught me and and i'm teaching my grandchildren now.

most of all we hope that i did something right in that something good and that people are now trying to do immoral for forging trying to find out more producers that are making something really beautiful happening here in iceland. the land of the midnight sun iceland has around twenty one hours of daylight at the height of summer just in the depths of winter. the landscape of this terrain mess mariah's is majestic. otherworldly and unforgiving. the natural vegetation provided little firewood thus creating a unique problem. beyond the challenges of hunting gathering and foraging

iceland just needed a source of heat to cook their food. they didn't have to. hear the tear out. on the back i had. ok she had to. get. here tell. me help you. you bury it is and how long does it begin here at glu bukit timah. so do a lot of people this week. the. mommy in fact got to get it right. that the back up. if you want to get out to be off with you need to. help but i am with the bread

group but what isn't the size of them here. maybe it smells good here. lifted despite soft york. ok it either has about someone. who's recipe is this my homey. through soft ones. today many of the traditional icelandic delicacies including good football can be

found in reykjavik scored a fourteen. a sugar rush tested ok they've been cooped and show fenway milk for. half a year. that gives them shelf life. in the old days people found out that by putting food into the way they would it chief during the winter. so after lottery animals they would put a lot of things in the way mill short and i needed during one else i strike there shall be fermented shark. dung smoked salmon and try to shine a trout she don't say so here's a wooden smoked thank you. but this one taste like you know what you know me get around the walls but if i do i still smoke the flavor. and this is the dung

trying to shut down you say yes indeed older days we cut down on trees and the farmers they had only one way to heat up their houses which was to take in a dorm from the sheep after the winter they dried that during the summertime and then they would burn it the next with dirt to heat up their houses and of course cook their food should was always done sort of indicate you narea. then they would start hanging up each fish different things in there for drying and for smoking and of course found don't it was a perfect way of storing food schmo can you show we've you know chapter tradition you know i should prefer this the subject of me but.

tourism is one of the sectors that's helped lift iceland out of his financial doldrums and traditional delicacies now packaged and marketed with visitors to. a low can get this thank you i really like your shop actually thank you very much how long has it been around it's nearly a hundred years what would have sold one hundred years ago for selling or weight in iceland that was so good selling some for goods in the time we were very poor and it's tough for small and if you'll dine it was fairly hard for the owners to keep

this up in the same but we have changed it to mortar and better things and circulates. swords and how to fish good for the tourists how did this british diet fish very popular you want to try. one maybe we're not you know is it you know it's a snotty area taste just like if i was very healthy. you know. it's very. thick woods like this if this is what the people who live in the old days and week. thank you thank you for your time. high in protein and low in fat skin is a real good like cheese that's vital to the dairy industry. my name is good and i'm out there if i'm very high strung i'm braced up on a farm muster kit we have about three hundred fifty thousand liters of milk and you . must be

a nice under the change to set the skinhead good as you go skeet of us made from him because the cream was to where you were the early days you used the cream as a currency skin has basically three steps posterous the main form and up to eight to five degrees of half an hour then you cool it down to four reeds you take a small part of your skin from last time you steer it in some of the fresh milk you just pasteurized then you start the cooling process. you cool it down to around twenty degrees in maybe three hours afterwards you cool it down to around six seven degrees you think they're quite late the mixing up put it into the bags they put the backs printed on tray on their way with rain off. and you would have the skin left and that in the bag and it's ready to consume. anybody can make spirit yes but

you have to have high quality i think make. and askia catches them why do market share abroad it's evolved into something of a damn shame how many treasure. planet . iceland has a population of three hundred and thirty thousand small but growing and increasingly from migration. in the past decade people from more than one hundred forty countries have received citizenship yeah national pride is strong see even in the clothing of these only in iceland yes by vents by hand. and agreement has seen it that for centuries and it's about fifteen years since we started hill said it to a tourist and fool us both that this is the fourth record out that this and the look

ok so you know about the science and what makes it the local piece it's the icelandic rule it's what especially if it's from the icelandic sea plates it's been really been here for centuries and i used to say the icelandic see this saved us we ate it and three. and the skin to keep this war. in iraq. interesting seems that sheep are as important as fish in the story of icelandic survival. soli thomas dot here is a politician and a leading voice for women's issues she's also

a massive foodie who enjoy sharing the cuisine and culture of home. so sorely what are we cooking today. lamb lamb lack actually i think at this the most popular me it's that the so tell me when you were growing up what was a typical new for you boiled fish with potatoes we ate fish six days a week and then on sunday this only with salt potatoes maybe some can't cut it or something but we didn't have many her store you know but staples from around the world so it was when a simple not minced taste but it was the sunday steak and it was always on sunday program of that you know and loans for the fabulous at them and see you're making something risky yes well guess they make all kinds of things with skewer make this search me that the bread cursed and making sauce out of it but the live but

a silicone garlic honey salt oil and then we make this sauce with a mate that's a little bit you know it's france so all this produce which has a lot of it do they grow nicely this is icelandic yes this is all aslant that they're making and then greenhouses they are very lucky here because we have this geothermal heat you know it's green on the tip of the nose that you have the money to warm up the greenhouses and it's what it is yes yes and you know we are very lucky with that are the vice we will not have all this but suppose. this is really because i mean i love the flavor it's a noisy good man smart i'll never say no thank you. other log with politics here yes if you convert traitor top the rest of the word

there are a lot of them and then politics but that i have never been as many women as men at the parliament and they still have a long way to go but yet i think at this it's quite good to be a woman and iceland we have a good belfort system we have good sex at a case and we have this. pretty long parent to leave. may have caught hunt's care system so it is not that our smart spurted on them and at home i said this for women in many other countries but still women are doing more work at home than men. just interim chief straps a little bit ask you about the financial crisis how did it get so bad i think mostly it lost the pop because people got too creepy and not

not the whole society but the people who will and it worse you know lack of. ever to assess social responsibility that brought the center this i have this hope that it really learned something from us and the theatre really you know have to be more diverse we have to embrace that diversity they have to be you know more. yes but more nice to each other. and more the sponsible. signs of recovery everywhere business is booming public debt is on a downward trend and inflation is no. the international monetary fund calls iceland a success story of getting back on its feet while preserving its prized wealth and model.

the economy may be gaining steam but it's still a tough story for iceland's youth for whom unemployment has averaged around ten percent over the past twelve years. that has a detent some of those studying the working abroad from returning home bringing with them and a jeep and optimism. and a bill i'm generally very nice and it's good to meet you. all with the goal it's easier all right i'll do that we're going we're going to go to where the main street the reykjavik so you've just moved from yeah. i just love back here to

downtown reykjavik what's changed from when you left will not the weather for one. always cold but of business wise. things have changed. when i had to whoa yes there were things are bouncing back when i left you hardly saw any building cranes you didn't see the lights and i was storm certainly didn't see all this people but now we're gone. down the main street is really busy it's busy we're seeing new cafes opening up new restaurants and well much more variety than before let's go with. this my friend dear old sam is the sister from a restaurant really lovely to me last year to. this is turkish restaurants it was more than ten years ago but my father knew his business partners and they opened the first camp up in i sed it was something quite new it wasn't so long time ago

that turkish coffee and for bottle of our or turkish schooled in general we had to go to turkey and i mean i remember these trips that i came back with suitcases of only if you saw fit or cheese of you know interesting spices and things like this now i've come here i go to the turkish supermarkets to buy my things. and i go home and cook it myself i mean this is something that just changed in the last recent years i went to the middle east a couple years ago and i want to give back i felt like i needed to explain the full law firm to everyone here and now of course you know who are first and my father is from turkey he came here i would say more than thirty years ago my mother is icelandic it's quite an interesting set up to grow often. in the last three years i mean immigration has been growing probably you would have talked about

multiculturalism ten years ago so this is quite new a new phenomenon to iceland and something both of you are young professionals where do you see your country having well things would have to change for young people to be able to build a future here the problem is the lack of jobs for graduates a new country a by ear. if you can even though it would be cheaper than to rent food prices are higher here. it's so many things so you just came back what's what's next what's the next step. you sound like my mother when you're out of stuff for us. yesterday or. what are you going to do next room for i'm optimistic i think we are bouncing back we are small economy worst one nation where everything every working productive citizen matter

so very often there's often not the hard to find work maybe compared to the rest of the europe so it's a matter of many finding what you are doing but you're one of the we're thrilled inspired to door and what do you want to do. i'm a whaleboat for hiring and. accustomed to isolation in this have gained a knack for overcoming the seemingly insurmountable. lessons from the past placing feet in what lies ahead. iceland may have grabbed headlines because of its recent economic woes but people here see those these oprah by returning to their roots these survive to nurture more resilient and one of the most tangible outcomes of that is modern icelandic cuisine good contemporary and sustainable which just

integrate giving into one didn't show a city until next time boys they see in icelandic just blessed. their lives that. it created the modern world. the slave trade language geography and the very fabric of human similar. as a nation upon it were built the great western palace and was constructed and hierarchy of races but how did it come about and what became of it. the slavery moves coming soon on al-jazeera business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
