F is for Fika

This lovely Swedish word is a noun and a verb and communicates laid back snacking in a way that no other word in any language manages.

It really is nothing more than a drink (usually coffee or tea) and a snack (more often than not baked but almost always on a doily) and is enjoyed between neighbours, friends, colleagues and acquaintances, and at any time of the day (or night).

And now I've discovered it's a cookbook..and has been for a while now...


...with the most beautiful layout inside, with each recipe spanning four pages, with ingredients first...


...and instructions second...


Now I just need to work out where I can get my mitts on a copy.
