cities through the food they love. reykjavik is the northernmost capital city in the world settled by norm's arriving bison. its very remoteness has forced people to listen to this surroundings and to go see the need to stay in line. iceland was established as a republic in one thousand nine hundred forty four and rapidly. to record some would say in two thousand and eight its banking system implode the car and soon most. it's value people lost life me hurts. so i mean treat to meet one man who despite starting his restaurant at what seemed like the worst possible time managed to crisis into opportunity.

good lesson is the owner of dill his restaurant is credited with pioneering the use of no peace sauce the greedy and which has helped to revitalize traditional food production. time to story about gil. so we are in the bill this is two thousand and seven we had little just. started working on our own project. then the crisis hit the country and we kind of. you could say we could we could can scare you you know so the other investors they jumped off the wagon and we were kind of alone there and we were going to have like a full blown kitchen with a whole lot of chefs and the same verse for the server but we just had to tame

a flick 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 millet's to serve really nice well flavored food. and good service or if 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 good deals looking up whatever we could actually find. and after a certain time he felt a little bit like the books was closing and that we needed something more so i started to like digging into like old recipes sometimes a lot of 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 bird like a kind of old school or something that they're done back in the days. for example how albert is making his. hello this is caught back along in my area there were about thirty produce less produce in back a lot of these 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 . if you will to live and tell me how lovely big fish and i'm sixty

years old i started to tell you as old i see working and as a professor in the place him in 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 vow to do this this is the only thing i know to dos all i will continue as long as i can stand. i'm so happy with goodnight and many others here are 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 told me and i'm teaching my grandchildren now. most of all we hope that i did something right in 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 fire would 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 to tear out. on the back i had. ok she had to. get. here tell. me help you. you bury it just so and how long does it begin here at fluted look at him and. so do a lot of people this week. the. mommy in bako they get. back up. if you want to get out to be off with you need to. help but i am with pres group

but what is the size of them here. maybe it smells good here. food lifted to ft south york. ok it either has about someone whose recipe is this my harmony. through soft ones. today many of the traditional icelandic delicacies including good football can be found in reykjavik scarlet for.

a sugar rush test of a fish they've been cooped and show food away milk for. half a year. that gives them shelf life. in the old days people found out that by putting food into the way it would if you chief during the winter. show after their animals they would put a lot of things in the way mill board and i needed during one else i strike your shop. for men to charge. someone in trying to shine a child she don't say so here's a woody schmoke show thank you. but this one taste like you know what you know me get around the walls. and you are still smoking 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 a dorm from the sheep after the winter they dried that during the summer time 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 it was a perfect way of storing food schmo can you show we you know chapter tradition you know i should prefer this subject but leave it to only.

tourism is one of the sectors that's helped lift iceland out of this financial doldrums and traditional delicacies now packaged and marketed with visitors in. a low 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 goods in the time we were very poor and it's tough for small and if you'll then it was fairly hard for the owners to keep this shop in the same but we have changed it to more a better things and circulates. sold some of his 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 as a snotty you know you taste just like it is to very healthy. you know. it's very. thick woods like this this is what the people who live in the old place oh. thank you thank you for your time. high in protein and low in fat skin is a 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 nice from the change to set this game here but if you go skeet of

us made from him because the cream goes to where you put the earlier days you use 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 could dump 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 for a hundred degrees in maybe three hours afterwards you cool it down to around six seven degrees you think they're quite late the mixing i'm putting into the bags the barracks printed on tray on their way with rain off. and you would have this left and that in the bag and it's ready to consume. anybody can make spirit yes but you have to have high quality icelandic meek. and askia catches them

why do market share abroad it's evolved into something of a dashing young married trashing the 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 seen even in the closing of these only in iceland yes by fence by hand. and agreement has seen it for centuries and it's about fifteen years since we started it was send it to a tourist and fool us both that this is a trick or not but this and the look ok so you know about the science and what

makes it the look of peace it's the icelandic rule it's what especially if it's from the icelandic soup that's been really been here for centuries and i used to say the icelandic see this saved us we ate it and we used and the skin to keep us warm i mean you. know. in egypt interesting seems that sheep are as important as fish in the story of icelandic survival. soli thomas dot here is a politician and leading voice for women's issues she's also a massive foodie who enjoy sharing the cuisine and culture of home.

so so they want to we cooking today. lamb lamb lack actually i think at this most popular myth 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 take those maybe some can't cup it or something but we didn't have many her store you know but staples from around the world so it was one example not minced taste but it was the sometimes steak and it was always on sunday program of that you know and loans for the fabulous at that i don't see you 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 love but a silicone garlic honey salt oil and then we make this sauce with a meat that's

a little bit you know it's france so all this produce 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 to me knows that you have the money to warm up the green houses and it's what it is yes and we're very lucky that that are the vice we will not have all this negative but suppose. this is really because i love the flavor it's a noisy good immense amount i'll never say no thank you. other log with politics here yes if you convert traitor talk the rest of the world 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 welfare 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 the men at home as at 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 was because people got too greedy 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 most responsible. signs of recovery everywhere business is booming public debt is on the 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 to meet to get 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 with 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. 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 thoughtless and you 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 three. live. this is my friend durand salmaan is the sister from restaurant really lovely to me last year so. this is a turkish restaurant it was more than ten years ago that 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 but 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 you know 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 supermarket 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 get back i felt like i needed to explain the full law firm to everyone here but now of course you know from africa. 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 culture 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 lee by your. own home here 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 from. you sound like my mother when you're out of service for us. yes. what are you going to do next fall 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 it is often not hard to find what may be called the

rest of the europe say it's a matter of me finding what you are doing what you want to do with your inspired 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 survived and nourished more resilient and one of the most tangible outcomes of that is modern icelandic cuisine growth contemporary and sustainable but just into reykjavik into one didn't show a city until next time boys they see an icelandic bust blessed.
