Leek and Mushroom stuffed Turkey Breast

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s time to get excited about turkey and all the trimmings.  Sometimes Thanksgiving can be a small affair and it’s hard to justify a huge turkey, for just a few people. Yet, you still want to celebrate the day and enjoy succulent turkey and stuffing.  This year, we will be having a small Thanksgiving and I experimented with a stuffed turkey breast in the SousVide Supreme.  I wanted it to be special, but I didn’t want to spend my whole Thanksgiving babysitting the turkey. The wonderful thing about the SousVide Supreme is that … Read More

Sous Vide Witch’s Brew

I am still new to sous vide infused spirits, but every time I make a sous vide infused drink I am always amazed and delighted with the results. This month I wanted to try a spooky cocktail, so I decided to make a luscious red infusion. Cranberries are in season, so I set out to make a cranberry gin. Store bought flavored alcohols are so often disappointing and usually taste and look nothing like the fruit that’s supposed to be in them. The magic of sous vide infused drinks is that they actually contain that real fruit flavor. For this … Read More

Shrikhand

I have an old defunct yogurt maker, gathering layers of dust somewhere at the back of a cupboard. I was so excited when I first got it, but I used this yogurt maker a few times, before tiring of it. It was messy, time consuming and always gave me mixed and varied results.I love real home-made yogurt; when it turns out well, it’s better than anything you will buy in a supermarket. When I learned that the SousVide Supreme could make yogurt, I knew I had to try it out. I was extremely pleased with the results, and couldn’t believe how … Read More

Lime Limoncello Spritzer

Limoncello is so zingy and delicious, but what about Lime Limoncello? I am huge fan of lime, and wanted to see how it would work in a limoncello.

Key Lime Pie

There is nothing quite like home-made key lime pie. It’s the perfect summer dessert, tart and creamy with a buttery crunch. I also love the sunny yellow color of this dessert. You could make it with normal Persian limes, but key limes really give this tart that distinctive and delicious edge. Some key lime pies are covered with a meringue topping; however I prefer fresh cream which complements the tart lime flavor so well. The original recipe for key lime pie did not require any cooking. The lime juice mixed with the egg yolks caused the proteins to coagulate and … Read More

Sous Vide Crème Brûlée Ice Cream

In honor of Bastille Day, I am making something inspired by a French classic. For this recipe, I combined my two favorite treats – ice-cream and crème brûlée.

We have a great tried and tested recipe on our site, and it’s a perfect dessert to try with the SousVide Supreme. Most of the really delicious artisan ice-creams you get are made with a real custard base that includes cream, whole milk, sugar, and eggs yolks. One of the greatest advantages of … Read More
