Eight years ago, Johanna Kindvall invited me into her Brooklyn home to interview her over freshly baked cardamom cake for an article I was writing for Edible Manhattan about the Swedish art of fika. This December, I finally committed myself to making Christmas treats from her magical book The Art of Fika. Yesterday: saffron buns. After all this time, it still amazes me how slowing down enough to pay attention to these simple things can help with facing (the many) much harder things in life. https://ediblemanhattan.com/uncategorized/swedish-coffee-tradition-fika/
