Join Begga and Sveinn for a semi-hands-on Icelandic cooking class in their Reykjavík home kitchen. During your Reykjavík cooking class, learn to prepare Icelandic dishes in an hour. It could be traditional lamb prepared the way Begga’s mother made it, or fish lasagna or oven baked salmon dish, a modern twist on cooking fish, which is an important part of Icelandic cuisine. Set in a welcoming home kitchen, this Icelandic cooking class is designed to teach simple, authentic recipes that you can recreate at home. Inspired by everyday Icelandic cuisine, the class highlights how Icelandic food culture has evolved in recent decades, including the wider availability of fresh produce year-round thanks to local greenhouses. This semi-hands-on cooking class includes some pre-prepared steps, while guests actively participate in key stages of the cooking process. Throughout the experience, Begga and Sveinn share techniques, tips, guidance, and stories about growing up in Iceland. After cooking, sit down together to enjoy the home-cooked meal you helped prepare.
