The Little Book of Fika - The Uplifting Daily Ritual of the Swedish Coffee Break

A pocket-sized guidebook on the Swedish tradition of fika—the twice-daily coffee break —with recipes, fun facts, and quotes to enrich your relaxation time and encourage you to slow down with intention.

As 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, creating a mindful and stress-relieving pause in your day that has significant benefits for your energy, contentment, and even productivity.

A delightful, compact-sized gift book, The Little Book of Fika offers an introduction to the fika tradition with wisdom and recipes to help you establish your own practice and rituals.

• A delightful bite-sized overview of the concepts of fika and lagom, as well as quotes celebrating joy and mindfulness
• 20 sweet and savory recipes, including elderflower cordial, cardamom buns with almond cream filling, apple cake, Swedish butter cookies, open-face shrimp sandwiches and more
• Small format makes The Little Book of Fika easy to carry in a purse or give to others as a stocking stuffer
• A lovely gift or self-purchase for anyone looking for simple stress relief, connection, and mindfulness in their daily life

Grab some coffee, gather with your friends, and engage in a mindful practice that helps you slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.
