Your hosts

Inga Elsa Bergþórsdóttir and her husband Gísli Egill Hrafnsson have collaborated on numerous food-related projects. They have researched, written, photographed, designed and published five books of their own in Icelandic, English and French. They are passionate food and cookery enthusiasts and in their books they share some of the knowledge and experience they have gained over the years. They are both trained tour guides and they have travelled widely in Iceland in connection with their work. They also run a travel agency specialising in photography tours.

Brimslóð Atelier has until now been our home studio, where we have worked on many of our food related projects. From researching traditional food preparation and preserving techniques, to production of our own books and radio programmes, to workshops and lectures about Icelandic and Nordic food. Brimslóð has inspired us in many ways and we have built up a growing connection with the region.
