Creating a Tortilla Sandwich in Space is Complicated Business [Video]

Watch as Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti shows us how she makes a mackerel, quinoa, and leek cream tortilla while aboard the ISS.

ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti is currently living on board the International Space Station for her long duration mission Futura. Food is an important item in space, also on the psychological side; that’s why astronauts are allowed a certain quantity of the so-called “bonus food” of their choice that reminds them of their home cooking tastes. We asked Samantha to show us how she manages to cook one of her bonus food recipes in microgravity: a quinoa salad with dried tomatoes, mackerel and leek cream, all wrapped in a warm tortilla.
