Spring Sunchokes

Sunchokes, also named Jerusalem artichokes, are not artichokes nor are they from Jerusalem. Native to North America, this tuber looks like a cross between a potato and ginger root. It is the root of a tall, perennial sunflower and can be eaten raw or cooked. When cooked it has a sweet and nutty artichoke-like flavor; when eaten raw it is crisp and akin to a water chestnut. This vegetable can be a bit finicky to cook, if left unattended, as it changes in texture quickly: one minute it’s firm and the next minute you’ll have a bowl of mush. Fear … Read More

Tips & Tricks | Pouch Liquor: Pure Culinary Gold for Sauces

One of the elements that makes a meat dish transcendant is a velvety sauce. And nothing makes a better sauce than the concentrated broth of the meat itself – in French, the fond. In the pan, it’s the brown bits of caramelized meat juices that stick to the bottom. In the sous vide pouch, it’s the concentrated liquid that accumulates during cooking. Strain it and use it, like the pure culinary gold that it is, au naturel or as the base for a sauce. Making a sauce is simple and demands only these basic elements: fat, aromatics, and liquid (broth, … Read More
