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.
