## Description

An illustrated lifestyle cookbook on the Swedish tradition of fika --a twice-daily coffee break--including recipes for traditional baked goods, information and anecdotes about Swedish coffee culture, and the roots and modern incarnations of this cherished custom. Sweden is one of the world’s top coffee consuming nations, and the twice-daily social coffee break known as fika is a cherished custom. Fika can be had alone or in groups, indoors or outdoors, while traveling or at home. A time to take a rest from work and chat with friends or colleagues over a cup and a sweet treat, fika reflects the Swedish ideal of slowing down to appreciate life’s small joys. In this adorable illustrated cookbook, Anna Brones and Johanna Kindvall share nearly fifty classic recipes from their motherland—from cinnamon buns and ginger snaps to rhubarb cordial and rye bread—allowing all of us to enjoy this charming tradition regardless of where we live.

Review: Fika? Yaaaaa Sure, You Betcha! - Fika: The Art of The Swedish Coffee Break by Anna Brones is a great addition to the cookbook collection. The Scandinavians know how to celebrate and take a break with coffee and homemade fika or baked goods to go with coffee or tea. Book starts out answering the question, "What is fika?" It also shows Swedish words inspired by fika. It gives a list of Swedish ingredients and alternatives, and baking tools. The history of Swedish coffee is an interesting chapter. Swedes top the list of global coffee consumers. The the recipes follow for coffee gatherings —from cinnamon buns to cardamon cake. The most iconic Swedish recipes are given for the traditional fika. Book is well-illustrated and recipes are diagramed where needed. There are a bunch of summer recipes, all sound delicious. Celebrating more than everyday has recipes for Name Day, Fat Tuesday, Midsummer, Birthdays, Jul, or Christmas Season. A recipe or Swedish Rye Bread is also given. Index included. Wonderful book for those who love Scandinavian cooking.
Review: ... for myself and a friend and both of us LOVE it! We have tried many of the cookies - I have purchased this book for myself and a friend and both of us LOVE it! We have tried many of the cookies, tortes, and cakes and all have been delicious! Follow the instructions exactly as written and everything will turn out great. I love the simplicity of ingredients and the fact that I didn't have to fully re-stock my kitchen in order to make any of the recipes. A basic background knowledge of baking and the science involved will also help tremendously, though I wouldn't consider most of the recipes 'advanced' by any means. Although, it does not include 'photographs' of the bakes, the whimsical illustrations were sufficient enough in my opinion to demonstrate techniques used to shape/mix/assemble the ingredients. The history of fika was also fascinating to read about, making this not only a great collections of recipes, but a good read on it's own, as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to branch out beyond traditional American bakes and is looking for a new taste and feel to appreciate. :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the Love of Fika, Buy This Book!
*by L***E on January 5, 2016*

Upon spending a number of months in Sweden, I fell in love - with the country, the culture, and FIKA! Fika is about so much more than just the food, it is a cultural thing, a way of life. Before heading there, we were organizing a workshop, and wanted to skip one of the Fika breaks, planning to let students go early. We didn't understand the ruckus made when we made this suggestion. But oh, spend a little time in Sweden, and you will quickly understand - you just don't mess with Fika, and I get it, and completely agree. What's amazing is that in this culture they have their Fika typically twice a day - that's two sweets daily - and yet the entire country seems trim, absolutely svelte. Part of it is due, I'm sure, to genetics, and part to the fact that it is a largely walkable country, however, I suspect too that the ability to look forward to Fika actually helps reduce one's urges to respond to food cravings. I mean, who needs to binge when you know that at 10:30 and 3:30 you're going to have your kaffe and treat? This book explores some of the history and cultural meaning behind fika, while also presenting all of the important recipes, with clear, easy-to-follow directions. Well done!
