This UI is proving to be a little bitch to me. Can't seem to get it right. However, just showing the icons I did for it. Pretty chuffed with how they came out!
Dude, these are really great. Iconography is definitely one of my FAVORITE categories of design. I think that the Gallery icon can be "tuned" a bit. Is that a stack of photos? I'm not quite sure what it is.
I'm currently working on a mobile application for a major pharmaceutical company. One of the glyph icons that I was tasked with creating was a very similar "spoon, knife, fork" to indicate meals like you have here.
The biggest thing I learned is how sensitive some regions are in regards to the positioning of the knife blade facing outwards. Strange right? But apparently it's taboo in some cultures.
I obviously don't know the context of this application but I wanted to share the bit of insight I had gained from my experience and user testing with an international testing base. You can read a little more on the details of why it's considered "taboo" here.

Awesome James, just the gallery icon looks like a battery, you can rework that Icon, I love the photo background. Nice work!

i feel like the door is a bit off, maybe a little less "perspective" on the door.
but I like it.

for the gallery you might try the apple cover flow for inspiration.
just shooting some ideas, because I have to agree that it looks like a battery :p

That cutlery icon kicks some serious ass!
I agree with Tom, though: Apple's coverflow icon would have more clearer meaning.
