Virtual Chef Mugs

'Needs salt!'

"Oh joy. Looks like the turkey is almost done..."

"Where did you say you went to culinary school?"

'Of course it's high in protein. Just look at this!'

Gone out...here is a computer simulation of your dinner

First there were virtual-pets. Now there are virtual owners and ranchers.

'...now pour the mixture into a baking dish...'

"I'm not eating a TV dinner. Now it's called 'Computer Cuisine.'"

Microwave confusion.

'I want my stir fry to be magical.'

'This is iDiet, the fanziest restaurant in town. They've got virtual food only.'
