IKEA Cookbook

I love visualizing steps and instructions, making food and design, so when IKEA create a cookbook (Homemade is Best) to encourage consumption of IKEA Kitchen appliances available, they did it right and allowed design to take the lead. And apparently there is an app too.

There seems to be an overabundance of bad infographics floating around the web today. However Massive Health did a good job in creation of We Are What We Eat, a series of infographics explaining the eating habits and perception of health according to different people. They've also created an iPhone app, The Eatery, that allows you to photograph your food and get a health rating, allowing you to become actively aware of your eating habits.
