An illustrated lifestyle cookbook about the Swedish tradition of Fika – a coffee break that occurs twice a day – features recipes for traditional baked goods, information and anecdotes about Swedish coffee culture, as well as the roots and modern expressions of this cherished custom. Sweden is among the world's coffee-consuming nations, and the social coffee break, known as Fika, is a cultural institution. It is a time to take a break from work and chat with friends or colleagues over a cup of coffee and a sweet treat. Fika is part of the national identity and a reflection of the Swedish ideal of taking time to appreciate the small joys of life. Fika can be enjoyed alone or in groups, indoors or outdoors, while traveling or at home, and offers plenty of inspiration to enrich these daily coffee breaks. In this charming and illustrated cookbook, Anna Brones and Johanna Kindvall share more than 45 classic recipes from their mother.
