HAUTE cuisine may take on a whole new meaning in California with one fine dining chef looking to incorporate cannabis into his kitchen. His announcement comes as the state looks to officially legalise recreational marijuana. Dubbed ‘the herbal chef’ Chris Sayegh believes his style of cooking creates “an entirely new consciousness” for diners that “goes beyond the effects of wine”. Sayegh uses an oil containing an extract of tetrahydrocannabinol (the psychoactive component of cannabis) and a vaporizer to infuse his ingredients with it. So apparently marijuana doesn’t enhance the flavour of food all that much so his goal is that you don’t taste it at all. Wondering what on earth his menu would consist of? Think carrot confit gnocchi with cannabis-infused pea emulsion or sticky toffee pudding with toasted coconut & pot-infused chocolate. EVER felt, ah, lighter after visiting the loo? Now there’s a chance to find out just how much lighter. Designer Haikun Deng has developed a toilet seat with a built-in digital scale. Deng believes the seat will make people feel good after every use. “The need to feel skinny is satisfied every time they finish using the bathroom,” Deng said. The concept seats are yet to grace the market.
