A Times story that you might think came from The Onion. Homaro Cantu uses an inkjet to print edible designs. But wait there's more...
The New York Times > Technology > Circuits > When the Sous-Chef Is an InkjetMr. Cantu is experimenting with liquid nitrogen, helium and superconductors to make foods levitate. And while many chefs speak of buying new ovens or refrigerators, he wants to invest in a three-dimensional printer to make physical prototypes of his inventions, which he now painstakingly builds by hand. The 3-D printer could function as a cooking device, creating silicone molds for pill-sized dishes flavored, say, like watermelon, bacon and eggs or even beef Bourguignon, he said, and he could also make edible molds out of cornstarch.
Look out
Heston.
