Scandinavian cooking is pure and simple. Fika abide by this philosophy by bringing out the flavours in our foods, so they taste of themselves. Scandinavian ingredients come from the sea, a fresh-water lake, or even the earth.
And some, like the lingonberry or the mushroom, don't only come from the forest, but bring a breath of pines or birches to the table with them. It's this palatable communion with nature that makes Scandinavian food appealing.
