Discover the essence of hygge as revealed by Brontë 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 Brontë, 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.
