Coinneach MacLeod, best-selling cookbook author, baker and islander brings his deep love of food, travel, and island life on a journey through the culinary and cultural landscapes of the Nordic region. In this programme, Coinneach visits the Faroe Islands. Famed for their rugged beauty and extreme weather, the Faroes have developed a cuisine rooted in preservation. Coinneach meets sheep farmers who prepare a traditional meal of fermented sheep’s head, and visits high-end restaurant Ræst in Tórshavn, where a seafood dessert showcases the island’s daring culinary creativity. He learns how to bake drýl, a classic Faroese bread, and helps prepare fish sausage—a popular lunchtime staple.
