It's the whizzy invention scientists say can conjure up anything from chess pieces and toy cars to bones, guns and guitars.

The so-called Foodini, which they say combines 'technology, food, art and design', can be used to make anything from chocolate fingers to ravioli.

co-founder Lynette Kucsma, a former PR manager for Microsoft, revealed that they are hoping to make family homes and restaurants their top market.

a spokesman for the Barcelona-based company pointed out that the Foodini still has several limitations.

He said: 'Foodini does not automate all your cooking, nor does it cook food. If necessary, it can keep food warm as it works as it contains a heating element.'
