Food and drink: IKEA products only

I was looking for inspiration to spark some creativity and originally, I was aiming for a photo, but ended up making this fun stop motion.

Creative concept

Use only IKEA products to create a refreshing food and drink photo. Everything here, except for the backdrop, is from IKEA. Even the surface that everything is sitting on and the shadows were created from IKEA products.

Here are the products I used:

• Cider Päron

• Festligt

• Grilltider basket

• Grilltider tray

Food and drink: Iced green tea

Recipe: Simple Onion Soup

INGREDIENTS

• Oil
• 2 onions (1 large serving, 2 small servings)
• 1-2 cloves of garlic
• Broth (beef, chicken or vegetable) 
• Day old bread and slices of baguette
• Cheese
• Optional: Herbs like rosemary, bay leaf

PREPARATION

• Thinly slice the onions
• Cube bread into 2cm blocks 
• Slice baguette

STEPS

1. Sauté garlic in oil until lightly browned.
2. Carmelize onions on medium heat until deep brown (around 20-25min). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Add broth and bring to simmer. 
4. Meanwhile, toast bread cubes. and baguette slices with grated cheese on top. 

Food Photography: Mango Smoothie

Mangoes are my favourite fruit so we bought a case of mangoes and had one a day for about 2 weeks. Once the last few were a bit overripe, I made a smoothie out of them. I made a non-alcoholic sparkling version:

• Blend ripe mangoes until smooth

• Carbonated/sparkling water or juice

• Optional: alcohol of your choice
