Amazing Food Made Easy - Healthy Sous Vide: Create Nutritious, Flavor-Packed Meals Using All-Natural Ingredients Paperback – October 28, 2017

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially trying out many of its recipes. I am new to Sous Vide and require a bit more how to than this book offered, through no fault of the author. If you are looking for a beginners how to, you may have to supplement this book with some internet research.

Jason Logsdon’s books are all well worth purchasing! His writing is simple and straight forward. He maintains his own web site as well as a FaceBook page and is very responsive to all inquiries.

Provides useful information

Good recipes and extremely useful tables.

great cookbook

Full disclosure: I bought another of Jason’s books, “Modernist Cooking Made Easy: Sous Vide: The Authoritative Guide to Low Temperature Precision Cooking” (HIGHLY Recommend) and was asked by Jason to review this book in exchange for a free Kindle copy. Jason asked for total honesty, the good with the bad.The Good: This is not a “How to cook a big hunk of meat with plastic bags in hot water” book. This is a “cookbook” with fresh recipes, large colorful photots and Jason’s easy to follow steps. Jason removes all the intimidation souv vide can bring with new cooking equipment and cooking techniques. His easy to read and understand style of writing, is like having Jason in the kitchen with you. Jason teaches you “how to think about souv vide, not just what to souvs vide”. He teaches you how and why souvs vide is safe even though the cooking temperatures are different from traditional cooking techniques.His recipes are fresh and creative, not the same old protein and veggies on a plate. Before reading this book, I would have never known or thought about making homemade pickles using sous vide. Jason’s recipes are well though out and easy to follow.In the back of this book are guides that will literally make sous viding as easy as 1-2-3. On my tablet, I enlarged the guides I wanted, took a screen shot, then laminated them. They now reside on the side of my fridge for easy reference and use in my weekly sous vide (Cooking by Thickness Guide).The Bad: There is a blue highlight box that is used throughout the book, it’s too dark and has black text, this makes it harder to read compared to other highlight boxes used. A ligher shade of blue with black text or use white text in the blue highlight box. Also, I hope there will be an electronic copy active linking.Search Amazon for Jason’s other cookbooks, you won’t be disappointed.

Jason Logsdon has done it again. His new book, Amazing Food Made Easy: Healthy Sous Vide is his latest foray into the world of sous vide cookbooks. This time, Jason takes you beyond the typical “steaks, pork chops, ribs, and brisket” and teaches you recipes and techniques for healthier alternatives. I say “teaches” because he does more than simply provide pages and pages of recipes. Each one is a lesson in and of itself, with personal commentary to help the home chef expand on what he is presenting.It is important to note that you do NOT have to be an experienced “sous vider” to benefit from Jason’s book; he does not assume prior knowledge. Healthy Sous Vide opens with a detailed overview of the equipment, steps, and technique behind sous vide cooking – including an all-important section on food safety.Jason then breaks down the book into categories: Morning Foods, Soups & Salads; Grain Bowls; Main Dish Meats; Made Dish Fish, and Sides & Vegetables and each recipe has a nutritional analysis. He then adds a section on Infusions – instructions on how to make flavored infused vinegars and oils like you would find in fancy restaurants as well as flavored mixers drinks.All of this is followed by an annotated section of links and sources for equipment – both required and recommended – so that those new to sous vide are not left wondering where in the world they can get equipment supplies.The last two sections — “Cooking by Thickness” and “Cooking by Tenderness” — are helpful explanations and charts for those who wish to explore sous vide cooking beyond the recipes in the book, based either on the thickness of the food or the desired tenderness. The charts are also used in conjunction with the recipes in the book to provide a more personalized touch to what you’re cooking. With these solid explanations and charts, Jason successfully pulls the curtain back and removes the mystery of sous vide cooking.Lastly, the photographs. Good lord, the photographs are stunning. You’ll find yourself wanting to eat the pages of the book. Although a good source of fiber, it’s not recommended!Amazing Food Made Easy: Healthy Sous Vide is more than just a cookbook. It is an invaluable reference manual for anyone interested in healthy sous vide cooking – both the novice and the more experienced who wish to expand their repertoire of knowledge and recipes. Once again, Jason provides yet another tool for the home chef to help kick their cooking skills up several notches. If you follow Jason’s advice in the book, you’ll find yourself preparing restaurant quality healthy meals that will dazzle and impress your family and friends.

It has a lot of good information.
