Sous Vide Is the Combine of Cooking (and It’s Not Just a Joke) Have you ever moved from imperative to reactive, functional Combine code and thought: “Wait… why doesn’t everything work like this?” That’s exactly how I felt after discovering sous vide cooking. Sous vide isn’t just a trendy food technique. It’s a declarative, functional, reactive system for cooking. It replaces the chaos of heat guessing and overcooked edges with precise timing, temperature control, and fully composed flavour pipelines.
