Reykjavik's thriving culinary scene featured on Al Jazeera

Food critic Gerald Tan reporting for Al Jazeera's AJ Eats did a great feature on Iceland's foodie scene recently. 

Speaking of the financial crisis which hit Iceland in 2008 he talks about Icelanders having to focus again on what they had locally rather than to rely on impots. 

But its spectacular crash during the global financial crisis of 2008 and the travel chaos caused by the ash plume from Eyjafjallajokull threw a spotlight on this remote country.

"As Iceland's cuisine has changed significantly over the past few years, AJEats tells the story of Iceland's culinary recovery. We find out how locals managed to turn the financial crisis into an opportunity to revive culinary traditions and revolutionise Icelandic cuisine."
