Fika – The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break

Sweden is one of the world’s top coffee-consuming nations, and the twice-daily coffee break known as fika is a cherished custom. 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. The authors share nearly fifty classic recipes from their motherland, from cinnamon buns and ginger snaps to rhubarb cordial and rye bread, giving all of us a taste of this charming and civilized tradition.
