Hygge: Comfort & Food for the Soul: A Cosy Collection of Comfort Food, Drinks & Lifestyle Recipes for You, Your Friends & Family to Enjoy | Cooknation
28 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Hygge: Comfort & Food For The Soul A cosy collection of comfort food, drinks & lifestyle recipes for you, your friends & family to enjoy. The Danish often say that the art of hygge is only ever meant to be felt, not explained and that its meaning is lost in translation. Whilst no singular word can adequately define it....... cosiness, comfort, contentment, bliss, happiness, warmth, friendship, family, gratitude, appreciation of simplicity and the here & now are just some of the words which fit. Hygge is warm drinks, comfort food, cosy clothes, candles, blankets, conversation, bike rides & walks through the forest. Hygge can be tasted, seen, heard & felt - it affects all our senses. In short it's about enjoying the simple pleasures in life. With over 60 food & drink recipes and craft ideas along with tips to hygge your life, this book is the perfect introduction to the Danish art of happiness.

I love our communal #hyggehour but i‘m often in bed and reading on my phone- but today i decided to have an earlier hour before i pick elderberries (first time- fingers crossed) and set up my cozy space that i should use much more often! #hyggehourreadathon

Chrissyreadit also @mabell camping was not going to happen- my shoulder is in rough shape- so i‘m trying my vietnamese pour over now 😘😘😘😘 3mo

Are you joining in tonight's #HyggeHour readathon?

What are your plans? 📖🍸🕯🍫📚💚

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @jenniferw88

kspenmoll Think I am taking @TheBookHippie cue and celebrating my #hyggehour right now. The Olympic women‘s basketball game just ended with an incredibly close victory for the USA. I felt sorry for France! Now I am on my porch for some cloud watching, birdsong listening, reading,coffee & biscotti treats. Olympics ending ceremonies start at 3pm . (edited) 4mo
StolenBookmobile I‘ll be joining this Sunday 💕 4mo

Tonight is #hyggehoureadathon wherever you are in the world! We are close to the end of #midwintersolace and I have really enjoyed seeing the cozy reading spaces and moments shared with all of us in community 🩵🤍🩵 I‘m glad we did this through January as I‘m realizing it does not have as much to anticipate and is Cold. and Bare. #naturalitsy

slategreyskies I haven‘t been participating, but I too have loved seeing the posts for this. They‘ve been very comforting! 📚🤍 10mo
Bookwormjillk I agree. It‘s been very meaningful to continue this practice in January. 10mo

Thanks to the hubby, my cozy reading room is perfect! The filing cabinet is in place, the floating bookshelf is up, and the new fun home decor from my bridal shower has me feeling all sorts of warm and cozy when I go in there. Honestly, just looking at this photo (even though I‘m at work right now) puts a huge smile on my face. 🤗♥️ #ispytotem #homeiswherethebooksare #lightupthosecandlesandgrababook #getcomfyandstayawhile
