It also created hundreds of new jobs in Loudoun County, from management roles, to equipment operators and food safety positions.
Cuisine Solutions processing facility in Alexandria, Virginia was the first sous-vide operation in the United States. Through years of research and development, the world leader in sous-vide has grown its footprint through its well-known quality and consistency, with convenient and safe to use products. With two manufacturing plants in the USA, one in France, one in Thailand and two opening soon in in the Middle East, Cuisine Solutions enjoys a worldwide reputation at the highest level.
Cuisine Solutions chief scientist Dr. Bruno Goussault is recognized in both the culinary and scientific world as “the father of sous-vide” for his work pioneering and innovating the cooking. In the fall of 2017, Dr. Goussault was named one of the 100 greatest visionaries by The Einstein Legacy Project. Dr. Goussault oversees all the scientific aspects of the company’s sous-vide cooking processes, methods, parameters and quality assurance programs. Today Cuisine Solutions supplies sous-vide cuisine to fine restaurants, premier hotels, first-class airlines and cruise lines, the military, and passionate home chefs.
Distinguished chefs such as Thomas Keller, Mark Miller and Daniel Boulud have relied on Cuisine Solutions’ expertise in developing their own sous-vide recipes. In fact, over 80% of Michelin-starred chefs have received personal sous-vide training at Cuisine Solutions’ Culinary Research and Education Academy (CREA), which was founded by Dr Goussault. In addition to CREA training chefs in its Sterling headquarters, it also sends instructors to kitchens across the world to teach entire staffs about its scientific cooking methods.
After decades of a mostly business-to-business strategy, Cuisine Solutions is preparing for a more public presence for the home chef. The company plans to add more products for online purchase at www.mycuisinesolutions.com. In 2016, the company also launched Sous-Vide magazine which is available at select retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Wegmans, Whole Foods, Costco and Sam’s Club and online at www.mycuisinesolutions.com. After establishing Sous-Vide magazine, Cuisine Solutions further celebrated its’ standing as the Masters of Sous-Vide by launching the first International Sous-Vide Day on January 26, 2018. The inaugural global day honored not only the sous-vide method, but Dr. Bruno Goussault’s birthday.
