9 Best Cookbooks for Sous Vide Cooking Technique
1) Thomas Keller. 2008. Under Pressure: Cooking Sous Vide. Artisan. ISBN-10: 1579653510
The
ground-breaking under-pressure method, usually called sous vide,
involves submerging food for minutes or even days in sealed, airless bags at
precisely the temperature required to produce perfect doneness. Flavors and
textures unattainable by other cooking methods can also be achieved.
The
technique has been in the pipeline for awhile--one forerunner is the boil-in
bag mom used to put veggies on the table--but has only recently attracted top
chefs. One is Thomas Keller, famed chef-proprietor of The French Laundry and
Per Se. His mightily sized, gorgeously produced Under Pressure explores
every inch of sous vide, including the ramifications of using this
precision-cooking technique (once time
and temperature are established, best results follow automatically) on the
craft of cooking, which has always meant a potentially rewarding engagement
with the possibility of failure.
The book
makes no bones about being addressed to professionals. Typical recipes, like
Marinated Toy Box Tomatoes with Compressed Cucumber-Red Onion Relish, Toasted
Brioche, and Diane St. Claire Butter, involve multiple preparations and dernier
cri ingredients, and thus resist home duplication. There’s also the matter
of the pricey equipment required--chamber vacuum packers and
temperature-maintaining immersion circulators--not to mention the precautions
required to ensure that foods, usually cooked at low temps, are safe to eat.
What the
book does offer the home cook is, however, thrilling. It introduces something
new under the sun--an exciting, transformative technique of great potential.
Anyone interested in food and cooking--not to mention lovers of extraordinarily
well produced books--will want to explore Under Pressure.
