Space Cuisine

photo by Tim BowerMartha Stewart isn't the only one spicing up life onboard the space station. In August of 2006 Chef Emeril Lagasse also did an episode of his television show based around meals he created for delivery to the Expedition 13 crew.

The latest celebrity to cook for the final frontier is French master chef Alain Ducasse. His meals developed in collaboration with ESA and sent up with supplies late in 2006 and enjoyed by the Expedition 14 crew. According to ESA, German astronaut Thomas Reiter was delighted with the meal. "It was absolutely delicious," said Reiter. "But we have no doubt that it would taste much better if we had some wine with it as well!"
