All the top chefs in the world are doing it: cooking foods at extremely low temperatures - and sometimes over extremely long periods of time. Often these foods are cooked in a vacuum (known as sous vide) and have not been widely accepted in the United States due to the dangers of botulism. This course examines how, why, and what these chefs are cooking and how this relates to the principles of HACCP or Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. Class is limited to 12 students.
