Icelandic Leaf Bread Workshop on Viðey Island!
Children and adults alike love the art of leaf bread making. Mbl.is/ Ófeigur Lýðsson
On Sunday 26th November, Margrét Sigfúsdóttir, the Head of Hússtjórnarskólinn – a local school of Icelandic culinary arts and crafts – will be teaching guests at Viðey island the art of making traditional Icelandic leaf bread (laufabrauð).
Some of the designs on leaf bread could be called art! Atli Vigfússon
Everyone's encouraged to hop on the ferry to Viðey and spend a cosy afternoon together for this wonderful seasonal activity. It would be great to see some masters of the craft there too, who can tell us all about their own leaf-bread-making experience. You never know, the smell of that delicious leaf bread cooking might just tempt a few of those Icelandic Christmas Lads over for a visit!
The leaf bread costs 2,000 ISK for 10 pieces.
Viðey House has a limited supply of leaf-bread irons and paring knives, therefore guests are asked to bring their own utensils if possible.
A selection of tasty meals and refreshments are available to purchase at Viðey Restaurant.
