    Abstract: The invention relates to a food processing system (100) able to deposit and/or deliver food under a certain pattern and to heat and/or cook at least part of it, wherein deposition is done onto a deposition surface (20) in one or a plurality of shapes and/or layers (90); the processing system (100) further comprising cooking means (50) configured to selectively cook at least part of the shapes and/or layers deposited; the deposition surface (20) and/or the cooking means (50) being relatively moveable with respect to each other; and the cooking means (50) being arranged above the deposition surface (20) and comprising a solid state radio frequency cooking system (51) and/or an infrared generator (52) to transfer radiative and/or convection energy to the deposited food. The invention further relates to a method for preparing a foodstuff by using a food processing system (100) as the one described, the method comprising the following steps: - depositing onto the deposition area (20) a certain food pattern in one or a plurality of shapes and/or layers; - positioning the cooking means (50) on top of the deposited food pattern; - activating the cooking means (50) simultaneously or successively to the deposition of the food pattern to heat and/or cook at least part of the deposited shapes and/or layers, controlling the distance of the cooking means (50) to the deposition surface (20) and the food deposited in order to maximize the energy density to the food surface.
