Join father & daughter team, Gina and Jim, as they demonstrate the simplicity and flexibility of sous vide cooking. Literally translating to "under a vacuum," sous vide uses a temperature-controlled circulator to slowly and perfectly cook vacuum-sealed ingredients, all while retaining their nutrients. Gina and James will prepare chicken street tacos, pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, and carrot soup for you to try. Learn about this minimalist and relatively inexpensive technique to prepare perfectly-cooked sous vide meals in your own home!
About the Instructors
Gina Barrientos recently graduated from Iowa State University with her degree in Dietetics. She currently lives in the Des Moines area with her husband, two cats, and dog. "I have a passion for understanding the science behind food and a love for finding out how and why food nourishes our bodies. I have learned how to better myself in the art of cooking and baking with a lot of help from my dad".
Jim Dymit is a home cook who has travelled extensively as a Field Engineer for 40 years. "I really like to try different cuisines and unusual food while I'm on the road. When I get home from a trip, the first thing I do is gather the ingredients I need to attempt to reproduce the dish that I had. By doing this for many years now, I've learned some skills and techniques that make the process of cooking fun and exciting. I want to share that passion for making amazing food with you."
