Elevate your coffee break to a true Swedish fika with these delightful recipes for cookies, cakes, pies, tarts, buns, breads, soups, and more
The Swedish tradition of Fika is a bit like British tea time, except that it features a great cup of coffee rather than tea and evokes feelings of a cozy cafe with a good book, a slice of moist almond cake, perhaps a cinnamon bun fresh out of the oven. Fika is a chance to take a break in the midst of a busy day to savor the sweet things in life. Milo Kal n shares the delights from her own Kaka p Kaka caf in Sweden, offering a delightful collection of recipes for sweet and savory treats. Fika may be famous for its traditional baked goods, but Kal n also includes comforting lunch dishes such as Vegetable Gratin featuring roasted carrots, parsnips, and leeks smothered in grated cheddar and Tomato Soup with homemade dumplings. Find recipes including:- Jam Thumbprints, filled with a dollop of raspberry jam
- Oat lace cookies, which are gorgeous stacked in a glass jar
- Mazarin Cake with layers of grated almonds, raspberry jam, and short crust pastry
- Butter Wreath made of cinnamon rolls shaped into a wreath and baked to a golden brown
- Rye rings, which are a bit like bagels and delicious served with smoked salmon
- Cauliflower soup, a smooth and creamy soup with a kick
- Salad with ch vre and pan-fried plums
- And more
