While they are not professionally trained, they understood that sous vide can provide restaurant quality food and this is how Kind of Cooking was born. As they continued to cook and eat their way through research and experiments, they noticed a lack of Asian inspired sous vide recipes available. Hours were spent in the kitchen recreating childhood favorites and popular dishes.
