This document provides an overview of a sous vide project. It discusses the history of sous vide cooking, tracing it back to experiments by Count Rumford in the late 18th century. It then outlines the development process for a risotto product cooked sous vide, including testing cooking times and components over multiple days. Costing and nutritional information is presented, along with an overall analysis of sous vide cooking noting its benefits of tender and sensitive cooking while being time consuming. References used are also listed.

1. Sous Vide Project
By John Goldie
In cooking success is not
extemporized. Its
built on precision, the quest for
truth, and the
purity of flavors and textures.
-Bruno Goussalt
2. Introduction
In this project I will produce an in depth study of
the culinary production system Sous Vide.
I will also design a Sous Vide product based on the
Risotto brief given to us by Watties.
4. Background
A short story of the earliest account of
Sous Vide
With the idea in mind that food would benefit by less
heat in cooking Count Rumford came up with an
experiment to slow cook mutton under pressure.
After waiting 3 hours he became frustrated with the
result of his raw mutton and chucked it back in the water
for the maids to clean, they had the idea that it wasnt
there job so left it.
The next day the maids and Count Rumford come to the
kitchen to find a perfectly cooked peace of mutton that
was soft moist and full of flavour.
5. Time Line

Thompson in 1799

Count Rumford 1967 19 74
1802
Food safe plastic films

6. Cultural History
Corn husks were One of the most traditional
tossed onto glowing French preparation methods,
embers in Mexico cooking en papillote, involves
packaging food in a parchment
paper envelope.
.
Whole pigs were slowly
roasted underground in
Hawaii
Preparing food at low
Early cultures in temperatures in
China used clay sealed vessels is one
pots to simmer of the oldest forms of
tough meats cooking.
7. Brief
To Produce A Product That Has
A Risotto Starch Cooked Sous
Vide For A Heat And Eat Style
Product.
8. Risotto Development
Day 1:
testing the cooking times for RisottoI used 4 samples with variant lvls of
stock and air, after having no luck with a 5 min window between undercooked
and a glutinous mass, I decided to cooking in a pan and transfer into a sous
vide method half way through cooking.
Day 2:
testing to see if pan then sous vide method worked and also
sous vide 3 samples of chicken for correct cooking time
Day 3:
testing components such as creamed leek and bacon soil
Day 4:
plating of dish with tweaks here and there plated several times
to make sure I was happy with the dish. Also added a Wight wine
butter sauce
9. Dietary and Nutritional
Information
Can be easily
edited to be a
vegetarian
dish, remove
meat.
11. Overall Analysis
Tender
No Fuss Cooking
Sensitive
Flavourful Trail and error
Fidgety
Time Consuming Great

Editor's Notes
Bruno Voicing his opinion on Sous Vide. He sees Suos Vide as the cooking process brings the surpasses expected results from all cooking. Yes this may be a small quote to sum up a WIDE range of information when it comes to Suos Vide but I feel it is all that needs to be said
There are many translations of this story but this summarized story tells us how the idea that slowly cooking meat at a low temp will leave the cut very tender.
Count Rumford or also known as Sir Benjamin Thompson didnt create the sous vide we know today, he mealy paved the path to the road for Georges parlus and Bruno Goussault to both in deferent ways develop Sous Vide into a precise tool in a chefs skill set. This couldnt have been feasible without the development of food safe plastic films in 1960s
All these old methods of cookery have feature found in sous vide.Slowly cooking food in a protected pouch is used in all of the above, wether it be a actual pouch or a protective layer that will help keep flavour and control cooking processes like steaming or boiling

CHUR TO THE CHUR
No fuss cooking: chuck it on and start another job but this also created another word and thats Fidgety, found myself finnishing all my prep and just waiting for the chickentime consuming : takes a long time to sous videGreat: amazing flavour this can range from the freash flavour of vegetibles be retained or the rich flavour of a marinade thats been cooked into the meatFlavour: lots of it Time and temp sensitiveTender meatA lot of trial and error to ensure you have the best resultI see this product booming in the future with the huge increase in cooking programs on tv will start making people more awear that good food can be made just by simply keeping water at the same temp.
