Salt Eldhús is a kitchen in central Reykjavík where people come to cook together and have a good time.
You’ll leave with a smile and a few new dishes up your sleeve.
We run a wide range of cooking classes in a well-equipped kitchen with great teachers, and private classes for groups, companies and organisations.
Whether you’re new to cooking or have been at it for years, there’s a class for you.
In every class, you cook the whole meal yourself, from scratch.
You work in small groups, and everyone gets stuck in.
Our chefs come from all over, and each teaches the food they know best.
We enjoy what we’ve made in good company, and the recipes are emailed to you afterwards.
Salt Eldhús is owned by Hjörtur Atli Guðmundsson, who has a real passion for cooking and food. Alongside him, a group of chefs and food lovers teach our classes and events.
