Recipe: Sous Vide Bread and Butter Pickles
Sous vide pickles are a perfect hybrid of traditional canning practices and modern technology. The highly customizable nature of pickles - bread and butter or otherwise - means that you can easily tune this recipe to your personal tastes. For instance, pretty much any type of onion will work depending on your palate and the same can be said for the vegetables. If you're not a fan of jalapenos then many other peppers will work great - although we do draw the line (personally) at Ghost peppers and Bird's eye chillis.

Recipe: Sous Vide Veal Chop
Veal is considered a delicacy by many, and for good reason. The delicate, neutral flavor is the perfect bed for a sauce heavy on the umami. With this in mind we've tried to a traditional veal marinade with a more experimental miso-mushroom sauce. This doubles up on the tenderness factor while providing nuanced, earthy notes.

Recipe: Sous Vide Char Siu
Char siu is a traditional chinese dish that excels in a sweet and savoury combination of spices. Interestingly, char siu may have originally been the name of the marinade not necessarily the dish itself. These days char siu is thought of as primarily a pork belly dish. However, the glaze is multi-faceted and could easily be applied to poultry or beef short ribs in a similar way.
