Camp Sous: Week Six - A Cheesy Sweet Delight
As spring turns to summer and the atmosphere turns from pleasant to humid things kind of slow down around Camp Sous. But that doesn’t stop our intrepid campers from trudging forward exploring the benefits of their Camp Sous Survival kit (external vacuum sealer,
sous vide cooker and pouches and roll bags) This week’s camper decided to add a cheesy sweet delight to her stable of sous vide sweet treats.
