Taste of Iceland at Rustic Kitchen, Boston, March 11-17

Icelandic Arctic char, potato and herb puree, pineapple

As part of Boston’s Taste of Iceland event (March 11-17!), there was much insanely delicious food and drink at Rustic Kitchen for a kickoff on Tuesday. Chef  Thorarinn Eggertsson of Orange served up melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness, although he left out crazier proteins Icelanders eat. Here are my belated photos from the event, which I attended courtesy of the ineffable Christine of Citysearch. It made me miss my trip to Iceland a bit as I reminisced about the whale steak and rotten shark I ate there, along with things like geothermal pools and lack of daylight. And great exchange rates.

It was lovely meeting freelance writer Cheryl Fenton, Trish, and JustinCanCook - who gave me an awesome pizza recipe that I’m hoping to try out next week.
