Freeport, Grand Bahama - Bahamian chef Elizabeth Grant, who is a head chef at Sabor Restaurant and Bar had the opportunity to experience Iceland recently. Iceland is a European island county located in the north Atlantic Ocean just south of the Arctic Circle and has a population of around 320,000.
Liz has been working with international chef and cookbook author, Volundur Volundarson of Iceland for almost 10 years now, and she jumped at the chance to not only experience the culture of Iceland but the cooking there as well.
Her stay in Iceland gave her the opportunity to work at Veisluturninn which is an upscale fine dining restaurant with banquet and conference rooms offering all types of catering in
Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. Chef Liz worked on the 19th and 20th floor of that tall building.

Aside from snow and the cold climate, while in Iceland Liz got to experience ski-doing during her month-long stay in Iceland.
"It was an amazing experience and very different than my work in The Bahamas. We served up to 4 to 500 people in a few hours. It was a very serious work experience. Very professional and so much attention to detail, and nothing was wasted.
It was my first time seeing snow which was very exciting and beautiful. Ski-doing was great, but I fell off, and the waterfalls were so beautiful. It is such a clean country. I want to thank Chef Worly for this experience," she completed.
Chef Liz has set her sights high for the future and her goal is to have her own restaurant in Grand Bahama, and her employers are encouraging her efforts.
400 - 500 people are served in a few hours.

Chef Liz at the Goðafoss" waterfall: The waterfall of Godafoss. The name stems from an event a thousand years ago when the law-speaker spent 24 hours meditating at this site to determine whether the people should abandon the old gods and paganism and turn into Christianity. After deciding that Christianity is the way to go, he threw his idols of Norse gods into the waterfall.
