The Talk: Marcel Vigneron Summer Menu

Sous Vide is a cooking method that keeps things moist and infuses the flavors you use. Think about making a simple salad of tomato wedges, cubed melon, quinoa and feta as a fresh, salty and sweet appetizer.

He referred to the potatoes as salty balls, because they are rich in sea salt, especially if you cook them in salt water.
