Sous Vide Eggplant Fondue with Eggplant Croquant Recipe

I've often thought about the early days of the French Laundry cookbook and how it shaped my way of thinking. By no means is it a holy grail of a book; it certainly has its flaws. I mostly admire and draw from the stories and anecdotal sections of recipes like these. There's a section that references cooking eggplant low and slow until it forms a fondue like texture. That line was the single point of inspiration for this technique. We learned a version of the Croquant technique when chef Paul Liebrandt came and did a pop-up at CVI. He's a remarkable chef with unbelievable raw talent. There was a crispy eggplant wafer with chocolate ice cream and a spice from laBoîte NYC called appalonia. This recipe has been streamlined and stripped down for efficiencies.

Porridge and oatmeal are very similar to each other, with the main difference being that porridge often contains multiple types of grains.

I add some milk as well for a creamier result top it all off with some berries, almonds, maple syrup and fresh mint.

Soy Sauce Cured Sous Vide Pollock with Green Apple Salad Recipe

Pollock is an inexpensive, mild fish very similar to cod or haddock, both of which can be used in this recipe. To bump up the flavors, I like to replace the usual dry brine I use on fish with a wet brine utilizing soy sauce, fish sauce, and miso paste. It adds a bunch of flavor while firming up the fish for cooking. If you can't seal liquids, you can let the fish sit in the brine to cure and then pour out the brine before sealing.

These egg cup bites were first popularized by Starbucks but are really easy to make at home using sous vide to cook them.

Top Round Salad with Watercress and Kale Recipe

Top round is a very lean but tough piece of meat that really shines with sous vide. After 1 to 2 days it turns very tender. As a definitely milder cut of meat, it can sometimes be on the dry side, so I like to pair it with a flavorful salad for a light summer meal. The peppery watercress combines with the earthy kale for a nuanced base salad that is brightened up with the lemon vinaigrette. Pomegranate seeds and berries add bursts of sweetness without overwhelming the taste of the steak.

I usually serve this with traditional lobster dinner sides of corn on the cob and clam chowder. When I want to be fancy I'll pair it with a simple salad of tomatoes, corn, and avocado.

Duck and cherries are a classic pairing while the vinaigrette dressing helps cut the fattiness from the duck and adds sweetness from the cherries. I often serve this with a fresh baguette and a ricotta cheese spread to round out the full meal.

To remove the lobster from the shell, you can either cut the shell off with kitchen shears, or boil the lobster for 1 to 2 minutes and chill it in an ice bath.

Bourbon Glazed Sous Vide Salmon with Blue Grits Recipe

This particular dish is sort of a mashup of my past and my present. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, salmon is plentiful and a large staple of your diet.

Shrimp and grits is one of my all-time favorite meals, so salmon wasn't that far off my radar when it came time to decide how to proceed with this dish.

Late spring is always a favorite time of year to cook for me because of all the unique ingredients you can find. At the store this week I came across fresh morel mushrooms and garlic scapes.

Caramel is my favorite thing, especially combined with chocolate, but I like it unadulterated, too, in all of its many forms.
