Staying at home means developing unexpected pangs of longing for the places you used to frequent: the neighborhood coffee shop where you’d always get your morning brew, the local restaurant with the perfect outdoor seating setup, and all the stores that you’d spend hours perusing. But the temporary loss of one store in particular has left an especially big gap in our lives: IKEA. Luckily, there is a new way to re-create the experience of roaming its especially spacious, labyrinthine halls.
IKEA U.K. has shared the full recipe for making its famed meatballs from scratch, and they’re just as easy to assemble as your Malm bed (you’ll just have to convert from the metric measurements). Sure, you might not be able to do your home shopping in person for now, but you can top a day full of IKEA DIYs with a delicious meal that makes you feel like you’re practically there. Consider these at-home projects the perfect side dish.
