So you think you’re a good cook? Philips has come up with a concept that will take your “cooking” to a whole other level, a molecular level that is…

Molecular gastronomy approaches cooking from a scientific point of view. It studies the physical and chemical processes that occur during the cooking process and tries to understand and explain the transformation that takes place within the ingredients. Everyone who has cooked an egg before knows how different cooking times and temperatures will effect your egg, right? Molecular gastronomists who have a better understanding of these processes can use this knowledge to deconstruct food and reassemble them in bizarre new forms and shapes; edible cocktails, carrot caviar, you name it.

Combine this knowledge with the technology of a 3D printer and you have food printer which could print food in any shape by your own design. This would offer endless new possibilites to present food. A nice extra feature is that this printer would even allow you to adjust the nutritional value of the food that is being printed, perfect to keep a balanced diet.
