Adopting a Danish Way of Life

Hygge doesn’t translate exactly, but roughly means a feeling of ‘cosiness’. For us Danes, this means always being in a warm and cosy environment, being safe and secure as a child, knowing you are loved and supported unconditionally, never working too hard or too many hours, thereby never sacrificing time with your family, which comes first in our world.

Hygge is now becoming a part of life outside of Denmark, the power of its meaning slowly moving into homes across the globe. Everyone is waking up to the fact that life is short. It is about living life to the fullest and being as happy as you can. As a consequence of this attitude to life, food has also become much more important and dishes have developed stronger meanings and importance through time.
