JP Eats Food Blog. Welcome to my food (and wine) blog. I am very lucky to enjoy good food and wine pretty frequently. I also spend a good deal of time learning and experimenting with both. The point of this blog is to share some of that with you as well as help me remember foods, wines, and little bits and pieces of information I pick up along the way. I rarely take pictures in nice restaurants, so most of what you see here comes from my kitchen, my friends' kitchens, or various casual and local hot spots. You can hit the archive, or never miss a post with rss.



Turkey breast, cooked sous vide with herbs and rendered bacon fat. I picked up a two pound turkey breast at Whole Foods for some sous vide testing. For this version, I removed the skin, seasoned the breast with kosher salt and pepper, and dropped it into the vacuum bag with a couple of ounces of chilled, rendered bacon fat and some herbs (sage, thyme, whatever). I cooked the breast for 4 hours at 145 degrees. This was a good test—the bird came out very moist and flavorful with great texture. It’s going to be great for sandwich meat as well.
