One taste of skyr and I was hopelessly in love! Haven’t heard of it? It’s kind of an Icelandic yogurt. Except it’s not really yogurt, it’s more of a super creamy soft cheese with a tangy taste that is, well, very yogurt-y in flavor. Skyr has been a food in Iceland since it’s occupation by […]
Usually a dish just names itself but I’m afraid that this little condiment/sauce suffers from an identity crisis. It looks like gremolata/pesto/chimichurri, it possesses some of the elements of all.

Normally I surround myself with the beautiful orange globes that reminds me of one of my most favorite seasons. However, I […]
