While the Danish concept of hygge has 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 Little Book of Fika by Lynda Balslev invites you into the comforting world of fika, introducing you to its charming rituals and culinary delights.
