Lofoten
Coinneach MacLeod explores the food traditions of Lofoten in Norway. Tha Coinneach MacLeòid a’ faighinn a-mach mu chultaran a’ bhidhe ann an Lofoten ann a Nirribhidh.
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.
Situated north of the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands in Norway are famed for their dramatic mountain landscapes and cod fisheries. Coinneach arrives in March during peak cod season, helping to unload the day’s catch and observing the stockfish drying process.
He works with a local chef to create a fine-dining dish using the wind-dried cod, makes lefse, a traditional flatbread, and harvests seaweed. A dinner of Lofotlam, a globally protected local lamb, rounds off his visit.
Tha Coinneach MacLeòid, rionnag nan meadhanan-sòisealta agus sgrìobhadair leabhar còcaireachd, a’ toirt a’ chuid ùidh ann am biadh, siubhal agus beatha air eilean air turas do sgìrean Nòrdach le cliù airson biadh agus cultar.
Tuath air a’ chearacall Artaigeach, tha na h-Eileanan Lofoten ann an Nirribhidh ainmeil airson a’ chuid beanntan brèagha agus airson an trosg Artaigeach a bhios ag imrich tro na h-uisgeachan aca. Tha Coinneamh a’ dol ann sa Mhà rt nuair a tha iasgach an troisg aig à irde. Tha e a’ cuideachadh gus na th’ air a ghlacadh a chuir ann an òrdugh agus a’ faicinn mar a tha an t-iasg air a thiormachadh. Tha e ag obair còmh ri còcaire às an sgìre fhèin gus biadh spaideil ullachadh le trosg a chaidh a bhrachadh sa ghaoith, a’ dèanamh lefse (aran flat, traidiseanta) agus a’ buain feamainn. Tha an turas a’ tighinn gu crìoch le dìnnear de Lofotlam – uan ionadail a th’air a dhìon gu eadar-nà iseanta.
