Synopsis
In Under Pressure, Thomas Keller shows us how sous vide, which involves packing food in airtight plastic bags and cooking at low heat, achieves results that other cooking methods simply cannot-in flavour and precision. For example, steak that is a perfect medium rare from top to bottom; and meltingly tender yet medium rare short ribs that haven't lost their flavour to the sauce. Fish, which has a small window of doneness, is easier to finesse, and salmon develops a voluptuous texture when cooked at a low temperature. Fruit and vegetables benefit too, retaining their bright colours while achieving remarkable textures. There is wonderment in cooking sous vide-in the ease and precision (salmon cooked at 123 degrees versus 120 degrees!) and the capacity to cook a piece of meat (or glaze carrots, or poach lobster) uniformly. The must-have book for professional chefs, culinary students, and forward-thinking home cooks., A revolution in cooking Sous vide is the culinary innovation that has everyone in the food world talking. In this revolutionary new cookbook, Thomas Keller, America's most respected chef, explains why this foolproof technique, which involves cooking at precise temperatures below simmering, yields results that other culinary methods cannot. For the first time, one can achieve short ribs that are meltingly tender even when cooked medium rare. Fish, which has a small window of doneness, is easier to finesse, and shellfish stays succulent no matter how long it's been on the stove. Fruit and vegetables benefit, too, retaining color and flavor while undergoing remarkable transformations in texture. The secret to sous vide is in discovering the precise amount of heat required to achieve the most sublime results. Through years of trial and error, Keller and his chefs de cuisine have blazed the trail to perfection--and they show the way in this collection of never-before-published recipes from his landmark restaurants--The French Laundry in Napa Valley and per se in New York. With an introduction by the eminent food-science writer Harold McGee, and artful photography by Deborah Jones, who photographed Keller's best-selling The French Laundry Cookbook , this book will be a must for every culinary professional and anyone who wants to up the ante and experience food at the highest level.

  • Not For Me

    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.

  • Amazing!

    Was given as a Christmas gift to my father in law & he absolutely loves it! Now I'm going to get one for my husband since he was equally as impressed:)
