Lopez-Alegria, Reiter and Tyurin shared the gourmet dishes

The Expedition 14 crew can been seen eating meals prepared by French master chef Alain Ducasse.

Alain Ducasse teamed up with ESA and the French National Centre for Space Studies, CNES, to create special gourmet food that could be used for celebratory meals in space, such as New Year, birthdays and the arrival of a new crew.

Thirteen different recipes were available to the resident Expedition 14 crew, with dishes including typical Mediterranean ingredients such as olives, tomatoes, aubergine, quails and swordfish.
