I am excited for a new Swedish cookbook, The Art of Fika, about cakes, cookies, and all things coffee break. 

I asked my Grandpa to make all the recipes that he wanted me to try. It turns out I should’ve asked which ones to avoid because nearly every recipe was marked. 

My sweet Swede. 

Not wanting to waste any time, I started straight away on a potato cake that calls for leftover mashed potatoes. As you can see, this simple cake was a crowd pleaser as I barely had time to get a shot.
