"We are so pleased to add two such qualified and talented people to our board," comments Jean-Louis Vilgrain, Chairman of Cuisine Solutions.

Mr. Herman will also serve on the Board's audit committee. He is currently a principal in the consulting firm The Herman Group, LLC.

Cuisine Solutions manufactures and sells over 200 upscale entrees and sauces using its Sous-Vide cooking technology and methods to top retailers, food service providers (hotels, resorts, sports venues, and convention centers), on board services providers (first and business class airlines, railway, and cruise lines), restaurant chains, and the military.

The Cuisine Solutions' Sous-Vide technology and methods means that their products, such as Lamb Shank with Rosemary Mint sauce, Seared Tilapia with Lemon and Green Peppercorn sauce, or Veal Osso Bucco, are vacuum sealed and then slowly cooked at very low temperatures immersed in water. The science behind Sous-Vide cooking involves knowing the precise time and temperature that food changes molecular structure. This enables Cuisine Solutions to cook the food for optimum taste, quality, and texture. The result is restaurant quality food every time. The Company's Sous-Vide process also pasteurizes the product and kills all vegetative forms of bacteria, and as the food is sealed in a bag, it is not handled after it is cooked -- until you open it to heat and serve. As the products are immediately flash-frozen, there is no need for preservatives in the product. Most of the Cuisine Solutions products have a guaranteed 18 month shelf life.
