The Sous Vide method of cooking is the current craze among high end chefs. As someone who keeps up with this trend, I am always amazed by how little of the basic food science is understood by Sous Vides many proponents. Botulism is a real concern when cooking in an anaerobic environment. Understanding the time and temperature continuum is essential for producing safe food.

Sue Ghazala's text is the only book available that really discusses these important concerns. The book was written by and for food scientists. Nevertheless, a lay person who is willing to spend the time can with some effort follow the basic arguments. Again, this is a science text and if you are looking for receipes or how to instructions, you need to look somewhere else.

I believe it is just a question of time before a well meaning chef accidentily ends up killing or seriously injuring his or her clientele. The reason this has not happened yet is that in raw numbers, very little Sous Vide cuisine is being produced in Europe and North America. This book is a must purchase for anyone who is thinking about scaling up their Sous Vide production to a commercial scale. Highly recommended.
