Nordic countries have consistently been rated as the best places to live for quality of life. What's their secret? One key factor is 'hygge' (pronounced 'hoo-ga'), a word that translates as 'cosiness' and which implies warmth, conviviality and kinship. Hygge is also about finding solace in nature, taking pleasure in outdoor activities, and celebrating the simple things in life. It's about being able to make a few useful things. And it's about everyday acts of kindness, both to yourself and others.

In How To Hygge, Leiths-trained cook and food writer Signe Johansen explores the secrets of Nordic living and shows you how to adopt these elements into your daily life, wherever you are in the world. With 50 delicious recipes, this book explains how to enjoy the outdoors the Nordic way, not to mention the joy of 'fika' (coming together over cake and coffee). With an economy of effort, hygge can be achieved at any time, anywhere., ISBN13:9781509834860 ISBN10:1509834869 Material Type:hardcover
