Homemade Is Best

 

IKEA is my idea of playland. Sometimes during the middle of the workday, I’d take a couple of hours off & drive myself down there simply to browse the displays & dream of my dream house while having a plate of the Swedish Meatballs. I never leave empty handed too but that’s not the point of this blog post. I’ve been hearing that IKEA just came up with a new baking book “Homemade is Best” & although it’s in Swedish, I think I’d get it just for the innovative food styling & great photography.

Here’s what the masterminds, Stylist Evelina Bratell and photographer Carl Kleiner, had to say for themselves: “We let ourselves be inspired by high fashion and japanese minimalism. The idea of the book became to tone down the actual cake and put the ingredients in focus. The recipes are presented as graphic still-life portraits on a warm and colorful stage. And when you turn the page you see the fantastic result.”

Have a looksee…
