This book is more about Scandinavian culture in general and not too much about the subject of hygge of which there is only scant advice on: use lots of candles, get some plants (succulents are recommended for their simplicity) and bouquets of flowers (one kind, not mixed) and preferably in odd groups such as 3, 5 or 7....

I have an affinity for the Nordic region and all of their principles of living, but this book was somewhat long-winded.

This was okay. I'm not sure what I was expecting. I did like reading the author's ideas and thoughts on Hygge, however I didn't feel as though I could make any of the recipes without more research. As I'm not from Europe I didn't know what a some of the ingredients were without looking them up. I like the ideas behind this but don't feel it was brought to fruition.
