Iceland

What have i learned here?

Well, I have learned the most important thing a good chef must have in order to be great: creativity!

Let me explain with a picture:

Think of a child riding his bicycle with support wheels, thats the same as cooking using recipe, as long you use the recipe you will get a good result. But if you discard the support wheels there will be a risk that the child will fall, with other words, the food may not succeed. But it drastically increasing the chances of great success. it's good to start with the support wheels. but if you want to become better, you should try to balance with your own strength. I hope you understand the metaphor. I have learned to inprovise more, to dare make choices that i normally would avoid. I have not exactly learned so much new things. But my skills has been inproved, think of it as an upgrade of my cooking skills.

I can't believe that i have been on iceland cooking food, it feels unbelievable! of all the places in europe i could be, im glad that i wanted to fly to iceland. I'm actually missing working with nico and the others, i have have get to know new friends who also are swedish. I can say that this will not be the last time i travel to iceland.What have i experience here during these past weeks?I have seen the northern lights, eating puffin bird, whale and local specialty, I have seen the mighty Gullfoss and geysir. See whales and bathed in the blue lagoon. Riding icelandic horses and learned to tölt.I am really pleased that i could experience all of these! And my best friends, Samuel, Linnéa, Alfred, Sofia and Linda came here for 4 days and we had a awesome time together! I hope that you guys had a great time. This has truly been a journey of a lifetime!

I can work longer hours now, and make tomatoroses but most inportantly: my skills has been inproved, think of it as an upgrade of my cooking skills. Im a little better then i was before i went to Iceland...I think! :)

I can't believe that i have been on iceland cooking food, it feels unbelievable! of all the places in europe i could be, im glad that i went to iceland. The best way to describe how it was is by this song:
