The Science of Food

3:23 pm in Dining by Troy Turner

When we sit down to eat we rarely consider the actual physical & chemical processes that occur in order to make our food as tasty as it is. If you think about it, a kitchen isn’t all that different from a laboratory. With this concept in mind, the Eating Objects series of “tableware tools” encourages diners to interact with their food on a multi-sensory level. Used in combination with an animation guided table, the user is instructed step by step to create their unique dish, creating a more in depth & challenging eating experience.

To avoid overstimulating the user, the aesthetics of the tools have been kept extremely minimal, using familiar materials. Copper was chosen for detail due to its ability to age beautifully, and retain marks from each human user which adds a personal element to the experience.

The table was designed to act as a blank canvas for the animations, food products, and tools. Besides housing the projection system, the detail of the legs and minimal white top add to its simplistic beauty.

Edible Dishes

5:46 pm in Dining by Chris-Burns

The following project is one with far fewer hard specs than it has big notions about how the future could be. This project is not a stack of dishes, nay, it is a dish creator. This “Piece of Plate” creator is responsible for the creation of the places where your main course meal will be sitting. Each plate produced will be edible in some way or another, it being organic and made of bio-degradable bits of our mother earth. I cannot speak for its taste.

Last time I had an edible piece of what’s normally porcelain or something similar, it was a bread bowl at the Renaissance fair. Beer cheese soup in a big fat bread bowl? There is nothing better. And now you’re telling me I can have lasagna on an edible plate? This must be love.

Perilous Wine Transportation

4:02 pm in Dining, Wine by Chris-Burns

If you’re the sort of person who carries wine around all day, you know it can indeed get quite perilous. You want to bring that wine around the place but you’re not in to the idea of it crashing down around your feet. You’re also not about the idea of carrying around in a shopping bag. So what do you do? You pick up some Wine Up Series wine transportation products. Carry that red and white in style, grace, and perfect safety.

Designed to transport wine bottles in and outside of your car, ready to use at the drop of a hat. Functional, resistant to damage, and they fold down into nothing. Four designs are available right this moment, with I’m sure more on the way. Designed and produced in Italy.

Eating Vegan: Green Living Plus All the Healthy Side Effects

7:33 am in Green Living, Health, Natural, Organic, food by Katie Nielsen

A vegan diet is one that excludes the consumption of any animal products, including meat, eggs, and dairy products. In addition, some vegans also do not consume any foods processed using animal products (for instance, bone char is often used in processing refined white sugar). Vegan diets tend to be inherently green, since they rely heavily [...]

Why Brown-Bagging It to Work is Better for You & the Environment

6:27 am in Green Living, food by Katie Nielsen

Packing a lunch for work every day may seem a bit tedious but the advantages of doing so far outweigh those of eating out daily. For starters, it can save you a ton of money. Back when I had a traditional 9-to-5 office job (I now work from home), I would eat out on average three [...]

Healthier Eating for Man’s Best Friend

9:19 am in Natural, Organic, Pets, food by Katie Nielsen

MEH Readers, meet Oliver. He’s a feisty Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix that joined our little family shortly after my husband and I were married two and a half years ago. As any smitten pet owner does, I like to spoil him, mostly in the form of daily walks to the park accompanied with rousing rounds of [...]

Cool Restaurant Design By Jan Schreiner

5:00 pm in Architecture, Color, Colors, Cool, Decorating, Design, General, New, Pink by John

By nature a new restaurant has to be hip and trendy to take us away from our favorite eateries and take our business to a new place. "Restaurant Et Cetera" is a new project created by designer Jan Schreiner. In the images provided by Jan, we can see an incredible use of colors that really create some "pop". The use of pinks blended with darker background colors create an environment that is light and intimate at the same time. Without the brighter colors, the place would be a dark room not for the trendy, but for those that want to "not be seen". More information: Jan Schreiner.
