This is fantastic, exactly what I was looking for. And unlike the other person who posted on this, I do have Activa RM, a food saver, Xantham Gum and a slow cooker with a digital thermometer built in which works well for Sous Vide cooking. I can't believe I finally found a recipe I can make and use all my cool cooking stuff! I'll make this and let you know how it is!

Isn't the idea of scaling down a recipe to manageable proportions so that cooks in the real world can make it at home?
If so, then shouldn't recipe ingredients also be adapted so that - at the very least - we can obtain them at a specialty store?
I mean , really, what in heavens name is activa RM?? I'm an accomplished and expereinced cook, but this has GOT to be something that only professional chefs can access.
And really, how many home kitchens have a sous vide?
Shouldn't you be a little more mindful of these tings if you are going to post recipes?
