Welcome to our second episode of The Lovely Book of the Day podcast! I’m your host Carrie, from the Lovely Living blog and Lovely Living University online classes website. I have another nice book suggestion for you today.
Autumn is here, with wet rainy days, cold dark nights, and chilly mornings. We can find ways to enjoy, rather than endure, the season. We can start new family traditions (even if we don’t have children), find enjoyable projects to work on during our downtime, embrace solitary hobbies (reading? Crafts? Video games? Kitchen endeavors?) We can invite and welcome others to our warm homes for festive gatherings.
“The Hygge Life” suggests we embrace winter by doing activities such as building bonfires and making campfire bread to celebrate solstice.
Chapters in this book include: Starting the Day; Caring for Yourself; Staying In; Easy Gatherings and Holidays; Getting Out.
Each chapter has recipes, for delicious dishes including Spiced Buttermilk Fritters; Potato Soup with Smoked Haddock and Dill; Hot Chocolate and Stovetop Popcorn; Lamb Stew; Ginger Cookies, Quick Rhubarb Pickles and more.
Throughout, there are pictures of chilly Nordic landscapes, plus cozy interiors with steaming mugs of tea, blankets and books. This works as a coffee table book as well as a resource you can read chapter by chapter.
We don’t need a book to give us permission to stay home and enjoy quiet nights in, but this book definitely inspires me to book less restaurant get togethers and do more cooking in the evenings at home.
