After having made penne a la vodka, inspired by another cook book, I wanted to further dive into my adventure of exploring making pasta. When completing this recipe from Evan Funke’s book, I was very satisfied.

This was the first cook book I purchased, which I believe was back in 2020. My friend Brandon and I were celebrating New Years in Austin, Texas, and I bought a Sous Vide for us try for the first time. Our faces immediately lit up from just eating chicken with lemon juice cooked in a sealed bag. I never had chicken so moist. The Sous Vide and this cookbook gave me such confidence in really starting my journey as an amateur / enthusiast.
