It’s exciting that Maxime is doing Extracted Berry Juice in a Pressure cooker… but I don’t think that recipe came from modernist cuisine!!!
It came from me:

I’m happy to share the technique but it is not professional to completely lift the technique, recipe AND concept, too!

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.

Judy, any chance there will be any Modernist Cuisine events coming to San Diego area? Thanks!
Great minds think alike… some of us in a vacum or sous vide bath, while others in the pressure cooker!
Ciao,
