Lagom: n.
just the right amount, balanced, harmonious.
This beautiful, fresh cookbook offers genuine insight into how Swedes eat and cook - with recipes that fit around the seasons, occasions, times of day, and appetite.
Eating and cooking in tune with ``lagom`` means embracing food that is good for body and soul, unfussy, delicious and sustaining, and all in harmony.
The Swedes understand that balance is everything - that you crave comforting food when a bitter wind is howling outside, that refreshing, lighter meals suit hot, hazy days, that a mid-morning bun is good for morale, and that a long, sociable lunch with friends and family on a Sunday is the most rewarding way to end the weekend.
There is a time and place for every kind of food, and when everything is in equilibrium, you will be content and satisfied.
