The unique program Heston’s Dinner in Space follows the adventures of Chef Heston Blumenthal and his team as they work closely with the UK Space Agency, ESA and NASA, attempting to revolutionize the previously limited world of space food.
Challenged by British Astronaut Tim Peake, Heston creates seven dishes that remind Tim of home, helping to combat the emotional impact of the astronaut’s journey. In one of the biggest challenges of his career, Heston goes one step further to create the first-ever ‘dinner party in space’. Tim goes on a nostalgic journey of his childhood with every bite as Heston provides much-needed comfort food and creates the quintessential cup of tea – the first to be sipped in outer space.
Follow Heston’s trials and tribulations behind creating meals that can be consumed outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, culminating in an out-of-this-world dining experience where his creations are eaten live on the International Space Station.
Catch Heston’s Dinner in Space every Monday at 8:05 p.m. on TLC.
