FREEPORT, Grand Bahama - Bahamian chef Elizabeth Grant, who is a head chef at Sabor Restaurant and Bar had the opportunity to experience Iceland recently.

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.

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.

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-dooing 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-dooing 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.
