Scandikitchen: The Essence of Hygge

By Brontë Aurell

Book Overview

Discover the essence of hygge as revealed by Bront Aurell, Danish owner of London's ScandiKitchen in this honest and thoughtful guide, featuring some of her favourite recipes.

Hygge is in the zeitgeist, but what is it, how do we bring hygge into our lives and why are we so captivated with this Danish word? According to Bront , it is really not complicated and doesn't involve spending vast amounts of money on candles or blankets... in its purest form it is simply about appreciating life. Explained in 12 entertaining chapters interspersed with recipes, you will learn first about the origins of the word hygge and then how to embrace it. Essays include: Hygge and Happiness; Hygge and Baking; Hygge and Time; Hygge and Stress; Hygge and Soul; Hygge and Nature; and Hygge and Your Home. Hygge is a completely psychological and emotional state of being. Whether it's going for a walk or sharing a cake with friends, when you carve a pocket of time in your day to appreciate and experience the moment, hygge can be found.

Customer Reviews

Compact. Cute. Simple read with lots of information.

I've only read a couple books on Hygge and several blogs, etc. online. This is a small coffee table how to (which IMO is sometimes the best kind). In this this case it is really all you need to get you going. Lots of yummy recipes and descriptions about the actual meaning of the word
