It’s being billed as the world’s first 3D printed, pop-up restaurant.
To highlight the potential of the emerging technology in the food world, organizers of the 3D Printshow in London have tapped a Michelin-starred chef to create a meal composed entirely of 3D printed foods.
Using fresh and seasonal ingredients, the chef will show attendees at the trade show how to create gourmet dishes in live demonstrations.
Visitors will also be taught how to 'think in 3D' and tap into the technology's creative potential by showing off a chocolate globe which opens up to reveal different ‘flavor compartments.'
During the half-day gastronomy conference “Press Print to Eat,” attendees will get hands-on experience on how to cook up recipes using the 3D technology.
“The gastro-revolution continues not only to find new ways to present and prepare our food, but new state-of-the-art ways to create it. From 3D printed chocolate machines for customised party food to micro-engineered nutritional prints, we’ve been slowly edging towards the synthesis of entire meals,” said Kerry Hogarth, founder of 3D Printshow, in a statement.
Indeed, some experts predict that 3D printing has the potential of revolutionizing the way we eat, calling it the future of food.
Others go so far as claiming that 3D printers will become as common as the microwave in the average household.
At one end of the spectrum, the technology is being eyed by the world of haute gastronomy: ChefJet Pro, for instance, debuted as the world’s first professional food 3D printer and is designed to help pastry chefs create bespoke confections for their cakes, candies and desserts.
Think edible lace, latticework, sculptural and ornate cakes, toppers, candies and confectionery.
At the other end, there’s the Foodini, designed by Natural Machines as a household appliance that allows home cooks to create foods like homemade ravioli and custom-designed cookies -- minus the labor.
To use, consumers feed the countertop appliance with fresh foods and ingredients.
3D Printshow London takes place at The Old Truman Brewery in London May 21-23.
