    • Hi Laura,

      Your method using a pressure cooker looks very interesting! Max will actually be using the berry juice recipe from Modernist Cuisine, which uses sous vide cooking. It is the next recipe, the carrot soup, that utilizes a pressure cooker. I hope you’ll consider coming if you are in the area, it looks like it would be very interesting for you.

    Corrections from MC website:

    [1] On pages 3•301 and 6•150, the recipe for Caramelized Carrot Soup should call for 4 g of young gin­ger with a scal­ing of 0.8% and “Carrot juice, brought to boil and cen­trifuged” should read “Carrot juice, brought to sim­mer and cen­trifuged.” In step four, “50 min” should read “20 min.”

    [2] On pages 4•50 and 6•214, in the recipe for Caramelized Coconut Cream, in step four, “Blend until sodium algi­nate is com­pletely dis­solved” should read “Blend until PGA is com­pletely dissolved.”

    [3] On pages 5•162 and 6•78, the recipe for Sous Vide Salmon should call for 120 g of olive oil with a scal­ing of 30%, 5.5 g of salt with a scal­ing of 1.35%, and in step three, “Soak in brine for 7 h” should read “Soak in brine for 24 h.”

    [4] On page 6•68, in the Best Bets for Cooking Tender Meats Sous Vide table, in the beef flank entry in the see page col­umn, “144” should read “114.”
