As you may or may not have figured out, one of my other interests is baking [1], as well as eating yummy food.
What better for the holidays than a post all about cooking in space? Turns out, although most astronauts rehydrate and reheat the packages of food, one astronaut at least experimented with combining those foods and ways of cooking in space. Check out Nancy’s story about Astronaut Sandy Magnus and her adventures in preparing holiday food [2] – over at Universe Today.
You can also look into Sandy’s journal about cooking in space [3], or stop by my collection of recipes [4] (none of which were ever prepared in space, sadly).
Happy Newtonmas and Merry Christmas!
