Yet another reason to love Ikea: The furniture giant has just released their own spin on the  cookbook, Homemade Is Best, serving up 30 deconstructed recipes for classic classic Swedish baked goods—all sans text. I’m not sure how functional this would be as an actual baking guide, but the images certainly are a pleasure to look at.

Here’s what the makers themselves have to say: 90% of photographs taken in baking books look alike. We wanted to try something different. We let ourselves be inspired by high fashion and japanese minimalism. The idea became to tone down the actual cake and put the ingredients in focus. The recipes are presented as graphic still-life portraits and when you turn the page you see the fantastic result.
