Bring your favourite people into the kitchen, cook a full meal together with a professional chef, then sit down and enjoy what you've made.

At Salt Eldhús, the group is part of dinner from the start. Everyone cooks, tastes, asks questions and gets involved while your chef keeps things moving.
Birthdays. Family gatherings. Friends in town. Anniversaries. Or simply a group of people who haven't shared a proper evening in a while.
Your chef takes you through the meal one step at a time, and there's always room for questions.

Start with what's on the worktop. Your chef introduces the ingredients and dishes you'll be working with, and the stories behind them.

Get hands-on with the preparation and cooking. Follow your chef's guidance, try a few techniques, and watch the meal take shape.

Sit down together and enjoy what you've made, with time to keep the conversation going.


If Reykjavík is part of the trip, make the food part of it too.
At Salt Eldhús, you explore Icelandic food with your hands. Work with local ingredients, ask your chef questions, and learn how the dishes come together.
By the time you sit down, you'll know a little more about the food in front of you, because you helped make it.
You don't need to have every detail worked out. Share what you know, and we'll take it from there.
No. Your chef guides the group through the cooking, one step at a time. Curiosity is a good place to start.
