Astronauts, cosmonauts, and a very limited number of people have experienced eating space food due to the unique processing and packaging required for space travel. This book allows anyone with a normal kitchen to prepare space food.Since some of the processing such as freeze dehydration, and packaging cannotbe accomplished in the normal kitchen, many of the recipes will not produce the food that would be launched in space, but will prepare food similar to whatthe astronauts would eat after they had added the water to the food in space.Many of the space foods are prepared to the point of ready to eat, and then frozen and freeze dried. Food preparation in this book stops at the point of ready to eat before the freezing and dehydrating takes place. Recipes in this book are extracted from the NASA food specifications and modified for preparation in a normal kitchen. A first of its kind; a truly unique product which will be a mix of NASA lore, legend, diet information, and space food facts Bourlandhas many years of experience in NASA food technology programs and will make recipes as authentic as possible Includes favorite recipes of astronauts obtained by the authors Special sections will tell about the Russian space food program and show how to grow your own mission food INDICE: Introduction.- Breakfast Foods.- Snacks and Appetizers.- Soups andSalads.- Bread, Tortillas, and Sandwiches.- Main Dishes.- Vegetables.- Desserts.- Beverages.- Future Space Foods.- Appendix A: Space Food History.- Appendix B: Sample Expedition 5 Menu.- Appendix C: Internet Resources.- Index.
