【瑞典蘋果蛋糕 Fyriskaka (Swedish Apple Cake)】
北歐人對生活質素一向極具要求，就連工作期間也會預留時間去放鬆，與家人朋友或同事夥伴一起享受着咖啡茶點，閑聊人生丶拉近於自己生命中出現的人們之間的距離。這段時光，瑞典人稱之為「Fika」。 雖然Fika的重點是人，並非咖啡或甜品的本身，但一杯美味的飲料和令人垂涎欲滴的糕點，相信大家也不會抗拒的。 也許我們的生活條件與北歐國家有所不同，但是用心去與身邊的人溝通的良好習慣並無分國界。大家不妨也跟着此食譜，用這個蘋果批配上一杯香濃咖啡，珍惜和家人朋友的美好時光。
Fika is beyond a coffee break in Swedish culture. The quality of coffee and cake is not as important as for one to make time to strength relationships with family, friends and colleagues. Although every place has their unique customs and cultures, and it may not be practically for us to implement such social institution in the city where we live in, making time for other people should be a habit that we all should learn! Go ahead and try to make this recipe! Enjoy a cup of hot coffee with a piece of yummy Swedish Apple Cake (Fyriskaka). Slow down your life and care with people who appear in your life!
