Gimburlombini

Tjóðhild Patursson
A memoir ... in the form of a cookbook

It was a quaint, small, red house nestled by the old harbour in Nólsoy that housed the café run by a group calling themselves “gimburlombini” (the ewe lambs). Outside the café, you would find a charming little sauna, as well as unicycles scattered around right by the front door; a wheelbarrow could always be found in the courtyard, and the fairy lights, usually reserved for Ólavsøka, were kept lit all year-round – life was a big and vibrant celebration – and gimburlombini were the hosts.

The story behind the café, Gimburlombini, is a cookbook, but it also serves as a vivid snapshot of the island that shaped its ambience. It is the story about grilled nettle pizzas, crying while cutting onions, homemade sour cream, endless amounts of waffles, ruby red rhubarb drams; and it is, of course, a story centred around the many spirited, joyous moments; a story of passion, laughter, culinary joy, tenderness, and love.

In the spring of 2019, Gimburlombini in Nólsoy received the Embla Award for the best Nordic Food Destination. This book therefore serves as a travelogue for all those who missed the chance to visit the café in Nólsoy before its sudden closure.
