Hello Again!

Hello Again!

As I said in my previous blog, I would be posting another blog again soon. And (no surprises) I was true to my word. So let's get down to business, shall we?

My first blog is about a convention that happened about a month ago. It was hosted by 3-D Systems, a 3-D printing and design company which premiered it's 3-DS culinary lab in Los Angeles this week, featuring top local and creative culinary talent while allowing guests a firsthand look at the possibilities for it's ChefJet Pro 3-D printer.

The grand opening featured dishes incorporating 3-d elements created in collaboration with signature chefs and mixologists.

One interesting dish out of many was cooked by chef Mei Lin, the winner of season 12 of "Top Chef". Her dish consisted of a wagyu steak tartare with a 3d printed wasabi egg, along with a passion fruit curd dessert garnished with a 3d printed passion fruit flower.

I have learned that true culinary talent can be mixed with 3-d printing and the result can be good. I am going to find out what other famous things 3-d printing food is or was involved with.

Markus Saulle's Genius Hour Blog 2015 First Post

Greetings!

My name is Markus Saulle and I go to Transfiguration Of Our Lord C.S in Etobicoke, Ontario.

I will be starting a blog for the project that my class is doing. The project is called Genius Hour, based off of Google's 20% time project. This project is a year-round process and my subject will be "How 3-D printing food can be used to solve worldwide famine issues". I will be using Blogger to blog down all the things that I have learned from research and list my new goals.

I have chosen the concept of 3-D printing food because of my interest in food (no, really! Food is always on my mind) and a newly found interest in 3-D printing as I heard in the news that 3-D printers exist, and are used for medical reasons, such as constructing organs and limbs for the human body. The idea that came to my mind after that was the thought of  "If you can make 3-D printed body parts for medical reasons, then why not make 3-D printed food to help the hungry?"

I then thought of the hydrator from Back to the Future 2. It is one of my favourite sci-fi movies, so it got me thinking of how cool it would be to have this happen in real-life. I really love the concepts of food and technology so this is why I have picked this subject for my project.

My goal is to develop enough knowledge about the subject of 3-D printing food to develop a website about it. I have already found some facts about 3-D printing food and even the fact that NASA uses food printers to make their meals. I am hoping to find out more about this subject down the road and be able to experiment with trying to build a website based on 3-D printing food. 

My next blog will be published soon. Until then, my best regards.
