When we want candid reviews on smart home appliances — especially in the kitchen — we turn to Ashlee Clark Thompson (that is, when we’re not turning to ourselves). An associate editor at CNET, Thompson covers cooking gadgets and explores how tech will influence the kitchen. Oh, and she’s also a pretty hilarious Twitter poster. For…

We throw around the term “smart” plenty of times when analyzing kitchen devices. But there’s one man who is truly trying to make the way you cook food — and the devices that help you do it — much smarter: Arvind Pereira. He’s the co-founder and CTO of the Markov Corporation, a startup leveraging AI to create a…

By now, you may well have sampled an Impossible Burger. (We certainly have — and liked it.) If you haven’t, you’re probably at least curious about the plant-based burger which claims to taste, cook, look, and even bleed like real beef. The Redwood City-based startup released their 2018 Impact Report this week, touting three of their achievements…

Chris here. I’m in LA this week, which I love because LA is genuinely one of my favorite cities. Sure there is smog, every street is clogged with traffic and it spawned the Kardashian empire. But it’s also vibrant, creative, and filled with tons of good restaurants. It’s for these reasons that you can already…

Choosing a wedding cake is — I assume — a big deal.

Is it just us, or has this past week been a hot one for international food tech startup funding announcements? A few days ago, British ‘virtual farmers market’ grocery delivery service Farmdrop raised £10 million ($13.3 million) to expand their territory. And just yesterday French meal replacement company Feed raised €15 million ($17.4 million) to grow their…

There has been a lot of activity and investment in the lab-grown meat, or “cultured” meat space in the past year. Enough so that it has attracted the attention of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which announced today that it will be holding a public meeting about cultured meat technology next month. For…

Last night at the opening reception of the Smart Kitchen Summit Europe the eight finalists of our Startup Showcase showed off their companies to the crowd over pints of Guinness. One, the London-based Recipeat, took the opportunity to unveil their startup. Recipeat is a smart, digital cookbook and meal planning tool that’s “more than just…

This was a very meaty week for food tech! No — literally. From Crowd Cow’s $8 million fundraise to our Future of Meat meetup last night, there was plenty to sink our teeth into. Plus we wrote about a French pizza-making robot and Microsoft’s visual food logging patent. But now it’s (almost) the weekend and time…

As we scour Kickstarter for interesting story ideas, it’s not hard to be struck by the many, many bad ideas you see on the crowdfunding platform. But those pale in comparison with the truly awful product ideas that satirist(?) Oli Frost came up with for his Flopstarter. Big tip of the hat to FastCompany for…
