 Swedes are among the happiest people in the world—and for good reason. They know how to savor life’s little pleasures. And there’s nothing they enjoy more than taking a break—sometimes twice a day—to spend with friends over a delicious treat and a rich cup of coffee.

The Little Book of Fika is your introduction to this time-honored ritual. With these traditional Swedish recipes, insightful quotes, and more, you’ll know why the Swedish love to say “Lagon ar bast” (Just the right amount is best).
