The Culinary Saga of New Iceland

Recipes From The Shores of Lake Winnipeg

(235 pages, paperback, ISBN:0968911900) by Kristin Olafson-Jenkyns

The Culinary Saga of New Iceland

This book works just as well in the kitchen as on the coffee table. It features over 240 Icelandic recipes for such favorites as Vinerterta, Ponnukokur, Rullupylsa, and Fiskibollur as well as newer recipes that take Scandinavian cooking into the twenty-first century. There are historical essays on New Icelandic cooking and New World settlements as well as an article by Nelson Gerrard on historical Icelandic cooking. This book is available from Coastline Publishing for $23.95.

"The Culinary Saga of New Iceland: Recipes from the Shores of Lake Winnipeg is very nicely put together -a gem to sit down and savour."
Deborah Quaile, The Guelph Mercury, December 16, 2001

At Cuisine Canada's 2002 Culinary Book Awards, "The Culinary Saga of New Iceland" won two awards - a Gold Award in the Special Interest Food & Beverage Category and a Silver Award in the Canada Food Culture Category. These National Awards are designed to promote excellence and creativity in food and beverage writing and publishing, while at the same time promoting our Canadian culinary food culture and celebrating our Canadian authors and publishers.

Congratulations to Kristin on receiving this very high honor! :)
