  • It’s not traditional. Also it’s not similar to the pic. It was invented in the 1970s by a French Chef. The technique involves “vacuum sealed” ingredients, ensuring there is no air between the ingredient and water. Water is kept at a constant temperature, much lower than usual cooking temperature, and the ingredients are cooked for a very long time.

    End result is an evenly cooked ingredient with full moisture content. But there won’t be any browning (Maillard reaction), which is key in many recipes.











  • I would argue that myths and stories are written by the wealthy class of people, hence I won’t expect anything that will undermine the interest of that class. I think denying education to workers or children of workers was a common tactic to suppress workers.

    Myths almost always involve kings and other figures of power. So as you vaguely mentioned most of the time it’s the villains of the story that may hold a “progressive” view, but there is always a twist to make them look bad.

    From your post I understand that you are not necessarily looking for existing stories, but you also want to write. Maybe trying to work out how a common person may experience the events in a myth will give some ideas.

    Do post if you write anything. I’m really interested to read.
