The cookies, cakes and breads (including savory variants) tap right into a growing, universal quest to achieve a more laid-back European lifestyle."—Lindsey Tramuta, New York Times T Magazine"As accessible as it is insightful, Fika is a baking book mixed with etiquette how-to and cultural know-how, iced with a calendar of holidays and expressed as a work of illustrated art. "—Anne Bramley, Paste Magazine"Operating as both a noun and a verb, the finer points of the fika are sometimes lost on outsiders—until now. Writer Anna Brones and illustrator Johanna Kindvall compiled the history and practice of the fika along with a collection of recipes for Swedish baked goods in their release "Fika: The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break. [...] For those looking to bring fika vibes to their lives, the book is a wealth of Swedish recipes and cooking tips. Swedish classics like kanelbullar (cinnamon buns spiced with cardamom) and hasselnötsflarn (simple cookies best dipped in a fresh cup of coffee) are easily explained and aided by Kindvalls upbeat illustrations. The visual component of the recipes especially comes in handy for more elaborate specialties like lussekatter (saffron buns). Beyond the classic sweet-baked goods associated with fika, the book gives recipes for savory smörgåsbords, jams, drinks and more contemporary recipes like the ultra-rich chokladbollar (chocolate balls that are, admittedly, mostly butter)." —Hans Aschim, Cool Hunting Promotional 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.

Excerpt from Book kokostoppar Coconut Peaks makes 25 to 30 cookies Kokostoppar are the Swedish version of a classic coconut macaroon and most certainly a staple on the fika cookie platter. This is a recipe that works well with many variations. For a twist, try adding a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger or dipping the tips in dark chocolate. These are also gluten-free. 3 Details ISBN1607745860 Author Johanna Kindvall Year 2015 ISBN-10 1607745860 ISBN-13 9781607745860 Format Hardcover Media Book Imprint Ten Speed Press Country of Publication United States DEWEY 641.59485 Short Title FIKA Language English Place of Publication Berkeley Pages 168 Publication Date 2015-04-07 UK Release Date 2015-04-07 AU Release Date 2015-04-07 NZ Release Date 2015-04-07 US Release Date 2015-04-07 Illustrations 100 ILLUSTRATIONS Subtitle The Art of The Swedish Coffee Break, with Recipes for Pastries, Breads, and Other Treats [A Baking Book] Publisher Random House USA Inc Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
