Recipe: Sous Vide Hamburger
Sous vide is a perfect paring with hamburgers, despite all appearances. Like with steak sous vide cuts down on the amount of shrinkage during cooking. As a result your burgers are going to be a lot juicier than normal, and bigger too. If you've never given sous vide hamburger a spin it's definitely worth a shot!

Recipe: Sweet Sous Vide Balsamic Mushrooms
Mushrooms are one of the most versatile ingredients in a chef's cookbook. Sous vide is a great way to prepare mushrooms of types, whether served as an appetiser or worked into another dish. As always feel free to freestyle with some of your favourite herbs - like thyme and rosemary - during the sealing process or cooking. Garlic and chilli pepper flakes are also fantastic additions.

Recipe: Sous Vide Lemon Chicken
BBQ Lemon Chicken is a summertime treat that doubles down on tart and sweet in equal measure. Sous vide lemon chicken locks in those flavors even better. Although somewhat similar to the pan-Asian variety this version forgoes the drying and breading process for grilling instead. It's entirely possible to finish this dish in a cast iron skillet or sturdy saucepan as well. Just make sure to use a bit of olive oil to avoid sticking.

Recipe: Sous Vide Cake
Sous vide cake batter is an easy way to prep an essential kitchen cornerstone, in particular when you're aiming for dense and moist rather than light and fluffy. Sous vide cake is a great base for bespoke designs and cute accompaniments to dinner. Using half-pint canning jars allows for thin pucks or thick slabs that can be arranged and decorated however you like!
As always, we would suggest some fresh fruit to go along with things - especially if you choose to go hard on the chocolate.

Recipe: Sous Vide Meatballs
Meatballs are a family favourite no matter the season. Sous vide makes it easy to do large batches for the week, or as a Friday-night celebratory treat. Beef and pork are fast friends in this regard. With that said, if you're missing ground pork then sausages with the lining removed can do. Just make sure to remember that their flavor will impact the dish based on how they were seasoned (e.g. honey garlic, mild Italian, etc).
