The Swedish Art of Eating Harmoniously

Lagom: n. just the right amount, balanced, harmonious. This beautiful, fresh cookbook offers genuine insight into how Swedes eat and cook &ndash; with recipes that fit around the seasons, occasions, times of day, and appetite. Eating and cooking in tune with &#39;lagom&#39; means embracing food that is good for body and soul, unfussy, delicious and sustaining, and all in harmony.The Swedes understand that balance is everything &ndash; that you crave comforting food when a bitter wind is howling outside, that refreshing, lighter meals suit hot, hazy days, that a mid-morning bun is good for morale, and that a long, sociable lunch with friends and family on a Sunday is the most rewarding way to end the weekend. There is a time and place for every kind of food, and when everything is in equilibrium, you will be content and satisfied.Steffi Knowles-Dellner is a Swedish food stylist and blogger who will introduce you to the unique Swedish concepts that encapsulate lagom, in this her debut book. From the well-known sm&ouml;rg&aring;sbord table of open sandwiches, and Fredags mys ("cosy Fridays") when hunkering down on a cosy sofa and tucking into tacos is a must, all the way to the irresistible idea of l&ouml;rdagsgodis &ndash; a single day for eating sweets to satisfy even the sweetest tooth.
