“Star Wars”, star plates

The Force accompanies the protagonists of the “Star Wars” franchise but, in addition, the star heroes must eat well to live the adventures that have hooked their followers for a quarter of a century. Thibaud Villanova describes in the book “Star Wars”, some of the galactic menus that can be savored in the worlds that Luke Skywalker explores.

The most famous galactic saga in film history, “Star Wars”, has served as an inspiration to multiple creators from the most diverse specialties. From experts in special effects, computer software creators or designers of increasingly spectacular scenery. Now Darth Vader, Yoda, Luke Skywalker, by the hand of George Lucas, JJ Abrams or Rian Johnson, have also been a source of culinary inspiration.

Kitchen creator Thibaud Villanova has given birth to the galactic cooking job “Star Wars a la carte” (40 recipes from a galaxy far, far away), with an eye on the George Lucas franchise, and whose work has been composed of around forty recipes that undoubtedly do not leave anyone indifferent.

Healthy and easy to prepare dishes

We interviewed this French chef born in 1985 who, in 2014, created the Gastronogeek brand and, in September of that same year, he launched his first cookbook on “geek” culture issues, a collective that has technology and imagination always. in its essential referent.

How did you come up with the idea to make the book?

The idea came from several things, but the development of the “Gastronogeek” brand and books had shown my publisher and me a certain interest in France by an audience passionate about the gastronomy of the imagination.

The concept of my books is based on the desire to create healthy dishes, easy to make at home and immersed, as far as possible, in the imaginary worlds to which I want to pay tribute. Being a great admirer and a great connoisseur of the Star Wars saga, I wanted to create a complete book dedicated to a gastronomy inspired by the entire universe devised by George Lucas, an incredible adventure. I hope I have fulfilled it!

Give me two plates for some young “millennials” and two for their parents.

The first for young people can be the “aromatic cream of Theed”. It is a delicate, floral and fragrant entry around the egg. The idea is to illustrate the discovery of the planet Naboo with a precise but tasty recipe, all in color.

We remember that the planet Naboo is a non-real planet that would belong to the system of the same name in the Star Wars universe that appears in the episodes of the saga I, II, III and in the special edition of the VI.

The inspiration of matcha tea

The second course can be the “Tapas Rey”. A set of oriental-inspired covers, illustrating King’s life in the Jakku desert. I really liked being able to work with The Force Awakens, and especially being able to invite BB-8 into the photo. The creator now offers us the proposals for those supposed parents of young “millennials”.

“I propose” stratospheric risotto “: a slightly complicated but delicious dish, inspired by the adventures of Han Solo, Leia and Chewbacca on the planet Bespin. And the second could be the” blue shake “: a recipe to propose an emblematic drink of the saga!

What have been the most “galactic” ingredients you have used in your recipes?

Well, I don’t know if this is the answer I was expecting, but when I did a lot of research on the book, I became addicted to an ingredient that I have been using a lot in my kitchen since then: matcha.

It is a ground green tea from Japan that adds a sublime green hue and subtle flavor to recipes. I tend to use it a lot since then and look for different varieties, depending on the dishes and flavor agreements I want to create.

So the planets, imaginary or not, the evil warriors or heroes and the universe of “Star Wars”, has given this special chef a “force” that has fueled his ideas and achieved it, from now on, in addition to watch and enjoy. a film of the saga, we can go out of the cinema and taste some of its special flavors.
