This has to be one of the most brilliant marketing plans of the past decade. It was inspired. There are so many people who are terrified of even trying to cook that this could at least get them started. If people start out with recipes that are completely twit-proof, then can see it's not that difficult to cook without a net.

Now we have a "Culinary Paint by the Numbers" for future chefs. Kool........I think. blink-5942...ad3f3d.gif

Smart idea

i need this

This would be even better if the sheets were washable and reusable

Great marketing approach! Go Ikea!

So clever!

Love this!

It looks very cool and easy to cook with these

I need this!!

Actually, I don't think it's too efficient for people who live alone. E.g. you won't go into a shop and say "Oh, I want eight pieces of ravioli and six meatballs, please.". So you either have to eat the same thing for a couple of meals in a row, since you can't preserve either for long after opening, or you can only use this when others come over/you live with others. With "normal" cooking, it's more reasonable amounts of ingredients I need to buy so even if some goes to waste, it's a fairly smaller portion. And just how someone pointed it out already, these circles are not the best for measuring spices, I can either make a thin layer and underdo or stack a high pile and make it too spicy. So I personally find this useless.

As practical art with a little fun mixed in, great! But the article title should be changed from "Genius Recipe..." to "Clueless Recipe...". I can't believe that there are actually people who have NEVER cooked for themselves in the kitchen. What a sad commentary on modern society. How hard can it be to follow simple recipes (without pictures)? I might want to try this with my 5 and 7 year-olds, but they will definitely have graduated from life's lesson before they start college and need this to eat a healthy meal.

Nope, Things need to be blended.

Bring this to the U.S.!!!!

Where can I get these? I couldn't find them on the IKEA site.

I ADORE EVERYTHINK YOU PRESENTE!!!!!

I love the music, the food idea is pretty good too but THAT MUSIC!!!

Does it come with an allen key? I'm a little bit horrified by this! Where is the art, the fun, the mess?

So, eating the paint???

Nyc...easy peasy..

marketing - A+ common sense - D

To advertise you are a moron. Holy c**p. Would you like a boil-in-bag rice with that?

Clever ad and good luck for your health issues
