I think this is a dumb idea. It doesn't actually teach people to cook, just to combine Ikea's products.
It looks like a marketing idea targeting novice/reluctant cooks. I think it's smart and clever on Ikea's part. Similar to Blue Apron et al, but more interactive. I like it...for someone else. ?
Blue Apron is a home delivery meal kit service. Each meal has everything you need, measured out and individually wrapped, ready for cutting up, seasoning, assembling, and cooking. All of the shopping and much of the work is already done - and, for someone who loves to food shop and putter in the kitchen, all the fun is gone, too....I do not know the Blue Apron ...

I think you misunderstood. The meal is not delivered complete and ready to serve. You get raw ingredients to prepare from scratch and cook for yourself. All it saves is the shopping time, and I read where you pay dearly for that convenience. Not practical for an elderly person or young children....However, the benefit of such a business, home delivery of meals, for the elderly and even for one´s children could be a beneficial service...
I don't think anyone has considered the FUN FACTOR here about the parchment recipes. I can see this being fun, for people who have never cooked in parchment, for children doing this with moms and dads, for people that haven't had good luck cooking seafood or fish. Come on, let's go in the kitchen and make some food, I have a cool idea to use these parchment recipes and then we'll eat. We put the pepper here, and some shrimp/fish here, some asparagus here, a little butter here, some salt there, then fold the edges and shake it up, and bake it. Tada, dinner is served and thank you for helping me make it.
Sure, cooking in parchment can be fun, I guess (I don't really enjoy steamed food, but lots of people like it). I agree with taxlady and RP, though, that this method doesn't allow the cook to coat the food evenly with the seasonings. So some bites will be really salty, others have no salt, etc. No matter how much fun it is to make, if it doesn't taste good at the end, it's not helpful. New cooks in particular tend to blame themselves when that happens, even if it's the recipe that is at fault.I don't think anyone has considered the FUN FACTOR here about the parchment recipes.

Oki, what have IKEA ever done for you?
Well this was fun novelty idea and there is no mystic about IKEA, they just figured out before every one else how to sell flat packed furniture here in Sweden.
Yes, it a great market ploy to get people to buy stuff , but which store doesnt try to get their customer to buy stuff they dont need?
Ingvar Kamprad, former owner of IKEA, lives in my province, he pumps in a lot of money into local business , elder care and local sports team. We do like that weird odd ball. I'm happy we have IKEA. And I do have some IKEA furniture, but not as much as the normal Swede.
The blue apron thing, well we had that for over 10 years now. Some one I know started one of the first services here, we call them Matkasse, ( bag of food) and you can get them cheap, luxury, vegan, lactose free, you name it they have it.
