Recipe book from IKEA

IKEA, in addition to all kinds of household goods — furniture, decor, and so on, publishes cookbooks where you can find everything from sushi recipes to homemade pastries. Here, for example, is a wonderful publication called "Hembakat är Bäst" (Homemade — the best). For each of the recipes in the book there are two photos — a snapshot of the necessary ingredients and a snapshot of a ready-made dish. The first one resembles a photo of disassembled furniture that needs to be put together at home.

The cookbook contains 30 classic Swedish recipes – from simple cookies to a large cake. What's there to tell, see for yourself and enjoy!
