The food thing was created (I believe -- I could be wrong) by Mike
Loader in his hilarious fic, The Nameless Saga.  I *think* that was the
first instance of Akane's food coming to life in a fic.

Opinions vary. As far as I know, the Akane=Dr. Frankenstein+Frugal Gourmet
cliche began either with Nameless or Nigel M.'s fanfic Eight Days A Week.
The two were released around the same time, and it's uncertain which came
first - in fact, I wasn't aware of 8DAW's existance until almost a year
later, so it's likely that the idea was independantly developed by both of
us.
