From TechEd to TechEat: Cooking as Programming

Nov 27, 2014

Sogeti Labs

While at Microsoft TechEd 2014 – please read and share my personal Sessions Top 25 blog post – my wife and I ran into this huge Bullipedia Lab logo in the Carrer de México, just near our hotel. Number 17 is the The Bullipedia Lab HQ, where 80 researchers, chefs and other professionals are working on Ferran Adrià’s epic online culinary encyclopedia. The goals of Mr. Adrià’s HackingBullipedia contest, launched in unison with Spanish telecom giant Telefónica, include improving the design, creativity and technology involved in creating the Bullipedia.

Cooking as Programming
The Huevo programming language is one of two winning HackingBullipedia proposals. The Huevo team imag­ines cook­ing as pro­gram­ming, while Bul­li­pedia functions as a code repos­i­tory. With Huevo, one can create new pro­grams to be stored in Bul­li­pedia. New code will be com­piled and exe­cuted in a kitchen by a group of cooks. Enjoy the video!
