Let’s Get Hygge!
IMAGES & RECIPES Jo O’Keefe
Hygge ( pronounce “hoo-ga”) is a Scandinavian word for the mood of coziness and for feeling content, along with wellness and happiness. Hygge feelings can be achieved with good books, candlelight, great company and warm drinks with delicious food and music. If you’ve ever cozied up with a warm drink wrapped yourself in a soft fluffy blanket, then you’ve experienced ‘hygge’ without even realising it. The term itself is old, but it found popularity across the world in 2017 and has been on the rise ever since. There is even a massively popular instagram hashtag #hygge.
I have put together these recipes for you to get cosy with. They are delicious and not too difficult to prepare. It is actually a whole days’ worth of cosy food taking you from breakfast through to dinner time. Light some pretty candles, read a good book and share the food in good company all the way through to dessert. All of us want to live well and enjoy the simple things and comforting homemade food is perfect for that. Live a little and bake a sweet pie, get a little ‘hygge’ and appreciate the simple little things that bring you joy.
