Comforting cakes and bakes from Scandinavia with love

A follow-up to the successful 'The ScandiKitchen', this book from Brontë Aurell features over 60 recipes for cakes, bakes and treats from all over Scandinavia.

FIKA is a Swedish word meaning to meet up for a cup of coffee or tea over something delicious. It is also the word for the delicious treats themselves.

HYGGE (pronounced hue-guh) is a word that originated in Norway but is now mainly used in Denmark. It means "a sublime state of cosiness you feel when you are with loved ones and nothing else matters". 

From indulgent cream confections to homely and comforting fruit cakes and traditional breads, sweet buns and pastries - this comforting baking book from Brontë Aurell will help you experience a little of the Scandi fika and hygge yourself. With simple recipes for biscuits and cookies, tray and no bakes, and everyday fika; to exciting celebration cakes, little fancy cakes, and delicious breads and batters. Whether you're looking for the perfect Swedish cinnamon bun recipe or a festive ginger biscuit, this beautifully illustrated, authentic guide is a celebration of Scandinavian baking in all its glory.
