IKEA Launches Interactive Recipes to Share Site for Family Cooking with Kids

IKEA, celebrated for its affordable furniture, Swedish meatballs, artwork, and even bike kits, now inspires family kitchens with its new Recipes to Share website. The homepage motto sets the tone: "Cooking is good, but cooking together is always better." These child-friendly recipes make preparing meals a joyful parent-kid activity.

A Playful, Interactive Interface

Dozens of savory and sweet recipes are ready, from quick bites to more elaborate dishes. Search using the top-right magnifying glass: filter by sweet or savory, modern or traditional, world or Swedish cuisines (mix and match filters). View ingredients and required equipment—all IKEA products. Enter up to four participants' names (an adult required), and the adventure starts. Each gets a unique color, assigned tasks (or rest time). Validate completions to advance steps. Expertly designed to keep everyone engaged and excited—no boredom here!

Ready for this afternoon: meringues or Swedish shortbread cookies?
