Watch Icelandic Chef Gunnar Gíslason Describe New Nordic Cuisine

Chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason, of Reykjavík, Iceland's Restaurant Dill, recently stopped by Talks at Google to discuss his gorgeous new cookbook North: The New Nordic Cuisine of Iceland. During the nearly hour-long discussion with cookbook co-author Jody Eddy, Gíslason talks about everything from geothermal energy to the Icelandic tradition of food preservation to what "new" Nordic cuisine means. "Some people use [those words] to describe a certain kind of food," Gíslason says. "But for me, it's more like a restaurant using ingredients close to them... it's a very big umbrella for a lot of things." Go, watch the conversation above.
