Food Printer?

Imagine being able to change your food into any consistency, shape, color, etc. that you wanted? Well, with more research in the field of molecular gastronomy, which is the study of the physical and chemical processes that occur while cooking, Phillips Design is working on the Food Creation Concept, which allows you to do exactly that.

"Food Creation consists of a food printer that would accept various edible ingredients and then combine and ‘print’ them in the desired shape and consistency, in much the same way as stereo lithographic printers create 3-D representations of product concepts. For example carrot could be served as foam or parmesan cheese as a strand of spaghetti! So if the kids don’t want to eat broccoli or brussels sprouts, how about shaping them as candy or ice-cream?"

Oddly enough, the printer allows to you adjust the nutritional value of your meals based on input from the diagnostic kitchen’s nutrition monitor, assuring you'll always be eating a balanced meal.
