Tasting Hygge

The most delicious approach to hygge—50 recipes to satisfy and savor, from Almond Custard Pancakes to Greens with Parmesan and Nutmeg

Good food makes everyone feel warm and cared for, which is the very essence of hygge. This Danish way of life has been embraced by Americans who want that same sense of cozy. In Tasting Hygge, acclaimed food photographer and cookbook author Leela Cyd shares the recipes that make her happy, for cultivating moments of connection in the dining room, at the coffee table, or over a little bedside tray. Keeping in mind the idea of slowing down and enjoying the moment, Cyd shares more than 50 recipes that elevate everyday meals into very special moments. She organizes the book into five sensory experiences (Calm, Bright, Warm, Spiced, and Smooth) with recipes such as:

• Apple Anise Glogg
• Roasted Squash and Sage Grilled Cheese
• Greens Gratin with Parmesan and Nutmeg
• Fairy Bowl with Ice Cream and Honey Sponge Cake

These are dishes to delight and love, each one accompanied by a gorgeous photograph.
