When I was reading the reviews, I found many referring to hard-to-find ingredients, and (being a dedicated foodie) wondered just what that meant. I wished someone would provide some examples. So after purchasing the book, here is my best attempt to describe just how sophisticated the recipes in this book are. In terms of meat, don't think beef, pork, or chicken. There is one chicken recipe and one for prime beef sirloin. The others call for squab, pigeon, rabbit, quail, etc. There are also a couple recipes for pork belly and lamb, which are widely available, but not sold at your local Ralph's. Don't get me wrong. The pictures of the food look amazing. But these are not recipes that you would cook when your friends come over for dinner - unless you and your friends are all New York City restaurant critics. Think tiny portions of elegant food presented beautifully. I gave the book three stars only because of its limited practical usefulness.
This book is not written or intended for the home cook. I knew that much from the reviews before I ordered it. Still, I thought I could glean some useful information from it that would be helpful in the home setting. I've been cooking sous vide for a little over a year. I mainly sous vide proteins. I've done beef tenderloin, sirloin, burger, scallops, lobster, chicken, brisket, prime rib and pork butt. I was hoping to get some solid data on cooking times and temperatures. The information on the Internet is all over the place when it comes to sous vide. This book has a couple of pages of temperature and time recommendations for specific dishes which I did not find that helpful, mainly because they were for dishes I would never prepare. If you are making foie gras, ox cheek, beef tongue, or lamb heart you may find these numbers useful. There are also sirloin and chicken settings, but don't buy this book if you are looking for basics.This is a beautiful book with illustrations and recipes for dishes from a top chef. I would recommend it for those interested in fine dining and for professionals who aren't doing sous vide in their restaurants. Perhaps a highly skilled home chef could also expand their repertoire with this book. I wish I was in that category.
A smorgasbord of recipes ranging from the exotic to the ordinary, the decadently overwhelming to the commonly healthy, all cooked without anything other than an everyday sealable food bag. You will have to print up a metric to English standard weight table in some instances though, but it's very well worth it. The science behind it is all there, as well as an excellent compendium of culinary experts to guide you through the steps to a better way to prepare your meals. Prepare your palate for a paradigm shift for the better!!!!My only complaint-why did it take so long to make its way here to the US!!?!??
FOR THE EXPERIENCED COOK ONLY! This book is for people that are VERY comfortable in the kitchen using a host of techniques for cooking, metric system & open to unusual/not common ingredients. That being said, I will be using this cookbook in some fashion. Maybe not for a whole recipe, but perhaps for just a portion of some recipes. I am an experienced home cook & have worked in professional kitchens in the past, so I do look forward to the challenge this book will give me :)
This cookbook is a mirror into the reader's own attitude toward cooking.If you are a professional with all the expensive equipment, a demanding clientele and a pioneering spirit, this book will quickly become an essential reference. If you are a casual home cook curious about sous vide wizardry and perhaps interested in toying with the techniques, you will find this book intimidating and useless. For foodies who have been intrigued by "molecular gastronomy" restaurant offerings, this book may answer a few "How did they do that?" questions. Given the level of creative energy between this book's covers, it is an outstanding value for the listed Amazon price. Understand, however, that as Keller states on p. 38, this book is "written for the professional kitchen, from one chef to another. No modifications have been made to accommodate cooks preparing [these recipes] at home, even though some of them certainly can be done at home with the right equipment"Recipe mise-en-place is organized by component in a division-of-labor professional kitchen style (not chronologically). All recipes use metric weights, so a digital scale is essential. These stylistic choices are sensible for Keller's audience, but may be offputting to a home cook more familiar with traditional American home cookbook presentations.Sous vide is, in important ways, both easier and safer than other cooking methods. Some of the advantages include ultra-precise control (and corresponding prevention of cooking errors and waste), extended hold times, intensified flavor, more efficient usage of labor, space and ingredients, and the ability to accomplish certain end results that are impossible with any other approach. Romantics who complain that sous vide reduces the artistry of cooking are ignoring the subjective, analog, soulful decisions that the chef must make concerning ingredients and method before and after bag cooking. In an introductory essay, Keller considers the sense of loss at the diminution of artisanal craft as technology supplants it. This was great writing, truly an artist at his best.One minor complaint I have with the book is its layout. Too many pictures of serious chefs at work are uncaptioned. Who am I looking at? What am I supposed to learn from this picture? Photos of finished recipes are often a page or two away from the recipe or even from their own caption. There are also artsy "backstage" pictures mixed in, producing a momentary confusion as to what one is contemplating. This is perhaps illustrative of the tone of the book. It's assumed that the reader is going to have the culinary chops to recognize these people (or ones like them) and fit right in next to them cooking obscure ingredients comfortably in a professional setting. Perhaps the effect sought is a coffee table book for professional chefs. I was also a bit disappointed with the layout's trendy approach of having more empty space (big white margins) bordering smaller, lighter type. Bring your reading glasses and good light when you sit down with this text.Following introductions on philosophy, science and history by Bruno Goussault, Harold McGee, Keller, Jonathan Benno, Corey Lee and Sebastien Rouxel, there in an extended section on Fundamentals, including what sous vide can achieve, basic principles and techniques, safety, use in the professional kitchen, and use in the home kitchen. I found the section on food safety to be particularly valuable and accessible to the home cook.Over sixty recipes are roughly equally divided into five major categories: Vegetables and Fruits, Fish and Shellfish, Poultry and Meat, Variety Meats, and Cheese and Desserts. Perplexingly, the table of contents lists only these categories and does not itemize the individual recipes. Each recipe generally takes two to three pages, plus a full-page photograph, and involves two or three dozen ingredients, divided into dish components (remember these are complex, composed dishes offered in Keller's restaurants, The French Laundry and per se). An example? "Grilled Octopus Tentacles, Chorizo, Fingerling Potatoes, Green Almonds and Salsa Verde," has 30 ingredients, two pages of instructions including a procedure for peeling green almonds, recipe p. 78-79, photo p. 76, two citations for sources, and one procedural reference to the Basics section. Similarly, "Dégustation de Porcelet, Rutabage Mostarda, Wilted Mustard Greens, and Potato 'Mille-Feuille'" is a tasting of five cuts from a baby pig; this recipe stretches four pages and lists 45 ingredients. The "Basics" section follows the recipes and includes everything from how to make clarified butter to recipes for eight different kinds of stock. Few home cooks are likely to make the composed dishes in their entirety, but experienced or adventuresome readers will certainly come away with ideas for home entertaining or approaches that might prepare only one simplified element from a Keller composed plate. Perhaps you would offer home guests five cuts from a baby pig; weeknight visitors to my home would more likely get pork chops sous-vided à la Keller, with one sauce.Other than the chapter on safety, perhaps the most useful parts for home sous vide users will be the two closing reference sections. First, there is a marvelous table that lists ingredients alphabetically, specifies how to sous vide the ingredient, and cites a recipe within the text that features the ingredient. Next comes an extended list of sources for equipment and ingredients. This is followed by a more traditional index, then acknowledgements and restaurant staff group photos, for a text of almost 300 pages.The only comparable text to address the topic of sous vide is Joan Roca's "Sous Vide Cuisine." Roca's text is stylistically quite different and more than a third shorter than Keller's book. The English translation of Roca's book also runs about two hundred dollars, which is quadruple the price of Keller's book. If you can choose only one, Keller's is stronger and a better value.It's not all things to all people, but "Under Pressure: Cooking Sous Vide" is invaluable in what it offers and an instant classic in its field.
When I bought this book I expected to buy something that really explained all the cooking nuances, science and aspects of sous vide. The sous vide technic is bearly explained in 20/30 pages and the rest of the book is just a mount of great photos and fancy meals that you never will do... Yesterday I took the book to guide me to make a perfect rost beef and I didn't find all the answers I needed to make what I wanted.
