The sharing of food has always been a significant aspect of human culture, transcending geographical boundaries and cultural differences. In many cultures, the act of sharing food is seen as a symbol of hospitality, friendship, and unity. Gastronomic, a seven-course tasting menu prepared by three sky chefs on board an Airbus A380 headed for London, exemplifies this cultural tradition. The menu blends ingredients from different parts of the world, creating unique and flavorful dishes that cross-pollinate and inspire. As strangers break bread together, the chefs guide guests through a British-inspired culinary journey, highlighting the rich culinary heritage of the United Kingdom. However, the act of sharing food is not without its challenges. In the case of Gastronomic, border control is on high alert at Heathrow Airport, as the chefs prepare to showcase their culinary skills to a global audience. This edition of Gastronomic was published to coincide with the production of the show at Curious Directive's Studio Theatre in Norwich, England, in May 2023. The publication aims to celebrate the importance of eating together and to showcase the blueprints of the world's best chefs. It features stunning photographs of the dishes, as well as interviews with the chefs and their collaborators. Gastronomic is a testament to the power of food to bring people together and to create lasting memories. Whether you are a foodie or simply curious about the world's culinary traditions, this edition of Gastronomic is a must-read.
