Theory Marx reveals the secrets of Thomas Baskett’s diet in space

In Whoever did not fight is already lost (Flamorian), Theory Marx reveals specifically behind the scenes of the work he did for Thomas Baskett. During his stay at the International Space Station (ISS) from November 2016 to June 2017, the French astronaut wanted Michelin-starred cook to take care of his food. “The specifications were very accurate,” Friday, January 15 at 11pm recalled the chef as a guest of Francinefo. “We had to submit to a very strong challenge: having no inputs, accurately measuring the quality of the food, while at the same time respecting French knowledge.”

This test will occur again in the spring of 2021 when Thomas Basket returns to ISS. In space, he suffers from adulthood (loss of taste). How to cure it? Theory Marx has the answer. “You have to give a lot of relief and flavor to these dishes, He explains. We can choose a little deeper caramelization and capture the flavor molecules that need to be preserved. Finally, viscosity is essential because by opening the dish, there is no doubt that everything spreads in the pot. “ For the next flight, the menu is already ready: “Potatoes with Porcini Mushrooms, Passage Beef with Carrots and, for Sweet, Almond Tamarind with Pears.” Says the Parisian chef.
