Airdate: Heston’s Dinner in Space

This week SBS screens the first of a 2 part doco Heston’s Dinner in Space, as Heston Blumenthal and his team attempt to “revolutionise the world of space food and orchestrate the first ever ‘dinner party in space’.” Deep.

Challenged by British Astronaut Tim Peake, “Heston creates seven dishes that remind Tim of home, helping to combat the emotional impact of his journey.” Very deep.

Episode One:
Heston and his team take on the astronomical task of creating meals that can be consumed at zero gravity. He explores how our bodies react to being in space and how the physics and chemistry of eating are changed outside the Earth’s atmosphere.

Thursday, 28 April at 8.30pm on SBS.
