Was very disappoint with the book a Master Chef but very new to Sous Vide cooking. Guess I was looking for more information most of the recipe I'll not be fixing did find the short ribs that are meltingly tender even when cooked medium rare. A few seafood look good too. His collection of never-before-published recipes from his landmark restaurants are really for the elite and rich not for the every day down home cook. Some of the ingredients hard to fine if at all. I have for years been a slow/low cooking Chef and did fine some of the foolproof technique, which involves cooking at precise temperatures below simmering, yields results that other culinary methods cannot. This was new to me and adding pressure too. In the past cooked my Pot/Chuck Roast at 225°F for 7.5 hours just came out the best. Found that for those kind of meats have to slow cook over 4 hour anything less you end up with too tough to eat. So for those new to Sous Vide may start with another but if you love nice photos of food this is the book for you.Read full review
I bought this book because of all the high ratings. It is not for beginners and the recipes are quite complicated. Most of the recipes have ingredients that I never would eat and might be hard to acquire. It is a beautiful book with wonderful pictures of finished dishes, but you probably wouldn't make them. A professional cook would like this book but not an every day person who just makes food for their family.
