Skjelde has created a six-course Norwegian tasting menu for The Epicurean Restaurant on Iona.
“Our new local food heroes will be champions of fresh, seasonal ingredients and recipes that fly the flag for their homelands.
“We are privileged to have chefs of their calibre helping us to create authentic dining experiences that reflect the ports we are visiting during Iona’s maiden year.”

“Working with P&O Cruises, I want guests to be able to smell, taste and see that each dish of my six-course taster menu for The Epicurean is truly Norwegian.”
