The Complete Sous Vide Cookbook: More than 175 Recipes with Tips and Techniques

Many of these recipes are for a true chef and more complicated than I wanted, but the basics are covered well, and there are charts to make it easy to find out the time and temps needed to cook just about anything:)

Great book. lots of tips and insights. Not for beginner cooks but great for those with some experience. Highly recommend

well help me cooking with father day gift

I have three sous vide cookbooks. The first is The everything guide to sous vide which is very nice for the price. I also own the Modernist cuisine at home which is ridiculously overpriced in my opinion. This book covers it all!Chef Chris McDonald managed to cram so many recipes and valuable information into this 400+ page book. The recipes are laid out in one or two pages and in a way so you do not have to turn the page to continue the recipe. I am proud to be the first to review this book here, and when I purchased it I had no idea it was rather new. Please take my word for it, this book is worth the money and you will not need another sous vide book.

Good information, recipes, and ideas. Looking forward to using it…Book came to me with a torn spine and cover bent in the corner.

Let me first say that I'm a little biased as a was one of the recipe testers on the Cookbook, but it is truly a fabulous book. I have many sous vide cookbooks and this one is one of the few where the seasoning, time and temperature are spot on. This Cookbook is a valuable tool for the home cook as well as the experienced Chef. (I'm a home cook, btw) You don't need a bunch of fancy pictures to help you cook, you need solid recipes.

Bought this for my husband to go with his new Sous Vide cooker. I think it is thorough and understandable. Just wish it had more desserts.

Not so great. Really disappointed in the recipes . If you are new to sous vide cooking as I am I found that the book really didn’t help you along much.

Canadian chef Chris McDonald has written a most impressive guide to the sous vide cooking technique. An informative section on essential preparation and food hygiene sets the scene for recipes and techniques covering just about the complete spectrum of ingredients and regional specialities. Meat, poultry, game, seafood, vegetables, desserts and sauces are all catered for with detailed and easy to follow recipes. Thankfully weights are given in both metric and American units. To make the book truly "Complete" it would be helpful to have translations of the more obscure North American ingredients and details of suppliers in the UK. Putting that minor criticism to one side, this book is excellent value for money and really does complement the all too basic cooking guide that is often supplied with a sous vide wand.

This has been my go-to book for bath temperatures and cooking times especially for meat, fish and eggs. I confess I don't really do the full-blown recipes but they are good starting points for my own inventions. Be aware it is a North American book so you will have to workout your local names of things, essentially cuts of meat and seasonings. If you are used to following internet videos of US and Canadian chefs then you know what I mean. Any search engine should give you a close equivalent. The book is packed with tips on equipment, generaL techniques, marinades, brines and storage times. I finish by saying even though it is so simple, sous vide poached eggs; there is no going back.

I recently bought a cheap "stick" sous vide machine and was looking out for a recipe book. My friend recommended this one and it lives up to the recommendation. A very practical book with many useful tips and dozens of recipes. I've cooked 5 of the recipes so far and they have all turned out well.

If you are contemplating buy this book, if you are English then you will need a translation dictionary. The book is written in American and I had to return is as to translate it into English is not impossible but you may as well buy a book written in English!

Bought for daughter in law who has become very adventurous in her culinary journey. She is delighted with it.
