Hi Anna,
Just found your Site. Fond memories of my past life in France. I enjoy and use a good “French Press” and an “Italian Espresso”. I’ve just come by a Walter Von Nessen 1930s Art Deco “Chase” Coffee maker and am not really sure how to make a “proper” cup of Coffee. Functions a little differently than I’m used to w/ the coffee infuser at the bottom of the “chamber”. Please!

- Hi Kris-
  
  Thanks for reading! Unfortunately, I have never used one of those, so I have no idea!! Sounds like you’ll have to experiment a little bit.

Happy Holidays Anna, My name is Janet and I recently came across something that you wrote along with Johanna Kindvall. One was listed on Baking and Celebrating Swedish Cinnamon Rolls (Kanelbullar dtd 10/5/2012 – yield 30-40 Buns) and The other one on Food Thinkers by http://foodthinkers.com/vetebullar-cinnamon-and-cardamom-buns/. yield 30-36 Buns). There is a difference in the amount of flour in the recipe- can you tell me which one is correct? Happy Holidays! Thank you Janet 12/27/2016

- Hi Janet! Thanks for getting in touch. They are two slightly different recipes, but I would recommend using the one on the Food Thinkers blog. That one is from our book Fika: The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break. Enjoy your baking!!

In your all-knowing wisdom, do you have any idea the company/brand of the cappuccino mugs that Shakespeare and Co. uses? We have found that we can no longer have a proper cappucino here in the States without those gorgeous SUPER thick walled cups. We’ve even orders in various other similar ones in attempt to placate our desire, but none come close to measuring up. I sent them an email to them directly requesting this info but no one replied. If you could forward us the manufacturer, I swear we would build a small shrine to you here at our coffee table and worship you as a god every morning.

Little help?

Hi Anna – I recently read your essay, With These Thighs, on the Wylder website. I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how absolutely wonderful it was and say thank you. I was so moved that I ended up blogging about it! A few of my friends also expressed their love for your thoughtful words.

Hi Anna
I love your Fika book and have made many of the recipes! Just a query – how big are the eggs that you use for these recipes? I’ve made the sliced chocolate cookies a couple of times and both times the mixture has been more cake like (runny) than doughy. I wonder whether it just requires one egg rather than two in the batter? Or perhaps my eggs are just too big!

Cheers
Kirsten

- Hi Kristen! Good question. I tend to use fairly small eggs, so if you think you have bigger ones, definitely try it with just one!
