Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hembakat är Bäst ( Homemade is Best) is the first coffee-table baking book from IKEA, the global affordable minimalist home design and DIY furniture store. The tome is filled with 30 Swedish recipes from small biscuits to large cakes.
The unique approach of the book is that it highlights individual ingredients captured through the artistic styling of Evelina Bratell and photographer Carl Kleiner.
Staffan Lamm, one of the art directors of the book at the Swedish agency Forsman & Bodenfors, told Relaxnews on October 6 that the inspiration came from "high fashion and Japanese minimalism" and the desire to produce "a very visually unique" baking book as traditionally "90 percent of all the photographs taken in baking books look extremely alike."
On September 20 IKEA began gifting the book "to customers who visit the kitchen area of the IKEA stores in Sweden."
However demand is already high internationally as IKEA locations can be found in 38 nations. Lamm noted that, "hopefully it will be released in other countries in the near future."
