Ikea just released a cookbook in Sweden titled Hembakat är Bäst, which translates to “Homemade is Best.” For each recipe, there are two images: one of the ingredients and one of the finished item. I like how they’ve laid out the ingredients – each one an autonomous entity before blending with the others to form a delicious concoction. The styling reminds me of Brittny Badger’s disassembled appliances.
Thanks to Emma Fexeus of emmas designblogg for the original post and for sending me the press release! Emma tells me that the photos were shot and most probably styled by Carl Kleiner. UPDATE: The photos were styled by Evelina Bratell.
