N1 - Funding Information:
The work is financially supported by the MIT Media Lab and Food + Future (SIG 6933857). We thank Chef Matthew Delisle (L'Espalier) for helping create the dish, Amos Golan who suggested us the screen printing method, Kevin Leonardo for helping set up the dual-nozzle digital printing platform; Viirj Kan and Jifei Ou for their previous work as our source of inspiration and their lead on ideation around food and shape-changing pasta previously at the Tangible Media Group, MIT Media Lab; Brent Overcash and Greg Shewmaker for their industry insight and support on video production; Michael Indresano Production for helping with photography, Texture Technologies Corp for providing a texture analyzer to measure the food mechanical properties, Daniel I.C. Wang for providing wet lab space, Rohit Karnik, Pierre-Thomas Brun, Douglas Holmes, Matteo Pezzulla and Elisabetta A. Matsumoto for mechanical and mathematical insights, Kang Zhou for proofreading, and lastly Chengyuan Wei for initial experimental exploration and figure preparation.

N2 - We developed a concept of transformative appetite, where edible 2D films made of common food materials (protein, cellulose or starch) can transform into 3D food during cooking. This transformation process is triggered by water adsorption, and it is strongly compatible with the 'flat packaging' concept for substantially reducing shipping costs and storage space. To develop these transformable foods, we performed material-based design, established a hybrid fabrication strategy, and conducted performance simulation. Users can customize food shape transformations through a pre-defined simulation platform, and then fabricate these designed patterns using additive manufacturing. Three application techniques are provided-2D-to-3D folding, hydration-induced wrapping, and temperature-induced self-fragmentation, to present the shape, texture, and interaction with food materials. Based on this concept, several dishes were created in the kitchen, to demonstrate the futuristic dining experience through materials-based interaction design.
