By now, you might be familiar with the art of hygge (pronounced hoo-gah), which hails from one of the world’s most consistently happy countries: Denmark. The word has no direct translation in English, but according to Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen and author of The Little Book of Hygge, it may have roots in the Norwegian hugge, from which “hug” derives. Essentially, it means coziness, comfort, and to be enveloped in a sense of well-being.

I think rhubarb is a bit misunderstood. To start, it’s a vegetable. People often mistake it for a fruit thanks to its frequent appearances in pies, crumbles, jams, and other sweet treats. Tart and vegetal, rhubarb is genuinely too acidic to be eaten on its own — it needs some sweetness or fat for balance, which is one reason it’s a common ingredient in American desserts.
