A little book on the Swedish tradition of fika-the twice-daily coffee break-including facts, quotes, tips, and 20 sweet and savory recipes. While the Danish concept of hygge as caught on around the globe, so has lagom-its Swedish counterpart. An essential part of the lagom lifestyle, fika is the simple art of taking a break-sometimes twice a day-to enjoy a warm beverage and sweet treat with friends. This delightful gift book offers an introduction to the tradition along with recipes to help you establish your own fika practice.* THE SWEDISH SECRET: Scandinavian lifestyle, cuisine, decor, and strategies for happiness are extremely popular, especially in the US and UK.* ON TREND: Hygge and lagom-two virally popular lifestyle trends-are closely linked to fika. Publications like Vogue, Huffington Post, and Elle are covering these topics, as well as they are gaining popularity with companies and retailers such as IKEA, Crate and Barrel, Peach & Lily, and other fashion brands.
