Overview
Happy Food and Happy Food for Life pair Swedish chef Niklas Ekstedt with medical journalist Henrik Ennart in a two-book exploration of how everyday eating shapes mood, energy, and long-term health. The first book introduces the gut-brain connection through accessible science and Nordic-inspired recipes, while the second widens the lens to family eating, gut flora, and planetary well-being. Together they offer home cooks a research-backed, approachable roadmap for turning meals into a source of genuine happiness, in a hardback set built for everyday reference.

About the Books
This hardback set brings together two of the most talked-about Nordic wellness cookbooks of recent years. Happy Food began as a newspaper article by Henrik Ennart about food and happiness, which became one of the most widely read pieces published in Svenska Dagbladet, Sweden's largest daily. Ennart teamed up with chef Niklas Ekstedt, known internationally for his Michelin-starred restaurants and long-running television series, to expand that idea into a book combining gut-health research with kitchen-tested Nordic recipes, guiding readers through blood sugar, inflammation, and the gut-brain axis with dishes from anti-inflammatory bowls to mood-boosting breakfasts. Happy Food for Life continues the collaboration, moving into lifelong habits: eating well as a family, encouraging children toward better choices, and connecting food decisions to planetary health. Both books favor plant-forward, seasonal ingredients and repeatable routines over restrictive rules. Presented together in matching hardback editions, this set traces the full arc of the Happy Food philosophy, from the original food-mood discovery to the long-term strategies for living by it.
