Coinneach MacLeod, best-selling cookbook author and social media personality, brings his deep love of food, travel and island life on a journey through the culinary and cultural landscapes of the Nordic region. He begins in 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 Raest in Tórshavn, where a seafood dessert showcases the island's daring culinary creativity. He learns how to bake dryl, a classic Faroese bread, and helps prepare fish sausage - a popular lunchtime staple
