The Food of Iceland
Fermented shark anyone? That's a delicacy in the Icelandic culinary scene. I'm guessing ponnakukar with Nutella might be more to most of my followers likings. In Iceland, ponnakukars are a savory thin pancake, think crepe with more bulk, that can host many different fillings, sweet or savory. Hearty fixings keep the population of the northern island, where grocery store stock items may be hard to come by if the deliveries from the mainland are hampered by weather, well-fed.
These are a few of the fascinating tidbits I learned as I researched Iceland food culture for the plot of my latest book, Serving Up Spite. In the book, a murder occurs that is directly involved with a cook-off with Icelandic connections and the more information the investigators have about the island's cuisine the higher the likelihood the murderer will be stopped before he/she strikes again. Come along for a rip-roaring ride from start to finish and find out for yourself whether this is our favorite cooking contester, Sherry Oliveri's, last cook-off or the beginning of a new chapter in her life.
