"Everything is clear and straightforward, and there is a lot of information about what happens in sous vide that I wouldn't have guessed. If you're looking for an understandable way to ensure safety and taste in your sous vide cooking, you can't go wrong"

"I thought Sous Vide cooking was out of my league...
"However, a recent article in the New York Times accompanied by the reduction in price of the needed sous vide equipment prompted me to take another look. This led me to Jason's book and, after reading it, I sprung for the equipment and made a fantastic filet mignon.
"Along the way, I asked Jason for some help on questions I had and he promptly answered. He even has a blog. Many authors give you their email address and ask you to contact them if you have any questions but rarely do so. Jason does and I have in fact purchased products recommended by him. I endorse this book highly; the recipes are great and easy to follow. (Working on a brisket now!-Have to get back to it)."

"Sous vide is ever on my mind, but I don't know if that's the right thing to do. Also, there are now several good books out there on the subject from people who have more experience than I.
- Michael Ruhlman
"The recipes are well written with clear descriptions and include ingredients that everyone should be able to find locally. There are more pictures than I would have thought in a book at this price. I have cooked over a dozen dishes so far, all of them have been delicious and surprisingly easy.
Mr. Logsdon stepped it up a notch with this book including the sections on Infusions and Sweet and Sour. He has inspired me to try my own creations using the techniques, recipes and reference included in this book! I would highly recommend this book to anyone, I guarantee you will be cooking delicious meals and having fun! "

"This is turning into my 'go-to' book for sous vide...
Everything is so very easily laid out for the home cook that uses sous vide, right down to when you should start your cooking/prep. It also has sections for those who want to take things to the next level and get "fancy" on the recipes. I definitely recommend this book if you are into sous vide.
