Entertaining
One of my favorite things to do is curl up on the couch with a good book. This book was ideal for that. It’s warm, entertaining, and wow what great recipes I can’t wait to try. Fika is a well worthy tradition. I bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend and will buy it again for another friend and for me.

The Art of Swedish Coffee Break.
Am enjoying the book so far and had planned to get another one or two; however, the print is small and not very dark. Hard to read for "older" eyes.

Yummy recipes
I already have a bunch of great Swedish baking recipes, but found others in this book for some desserts I've tried but couldn't find a recipe for. I'll use it for sure.
