Cuisine Solutions Tops Washington Post Week's Best Local Stock Performers List; Fully-Cooked, Upscale Food Manufacturer Closed Up 35% for the Week to $3.10.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Cuisine Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:CUIS.OB) announced it was ranked first among Washington DC area local stocks for its share price performance in the Washington Post November 29, 2004 issue. Cuisine Solutions was also ranked in the top ten best performing stocks in the last 3-months, 6-months, and 1-year categories. Cuisine Solutions 1-year share price growth of 265% ranked them as the fourth best local stock performer for the year. "The public is now demanding and willing to pay for better quality entrees with more taste and added convenience," states CEO Stanislas Vilgrain. "It has translated into significant top line growth for the Company. Sales grew 43% in the US last quarter as compared to the same quarter the previous fiscal year."

Cuisine Solutions sales declined significantly following the events of September 11, 2001 as a large percentage of its business was with airlines and hotel and convention centers. Since that time, Cuisine Solutions has further diversified into retail, rail, national restaurant chains, and the military. "The Company plans to re-list on the AMEX or NASDAQ in the near future when we are able to meet their qualifications," explains Cuisine Solutions President Thomas L. Gregg. "We believe we are now creating a market category in upscale, frozen, fully cooked food that does not currently exist, and our recent success is only the tip of the iceberg."

The over 200 Cuisine Solutions products are manufactured using the Sous-Vide cooking technology. This means that the products, such as Lamb Shank with Rosemary Mint sauce, Seared Tilapia with Lemon and Green Peppercorn sauce, or Beef Wellington, are vacuum sealed in a plastic pouch and then cooked at very low temperatures immersed in water for long periods of time. The science behind Sous-Vide cooking involves knowing the exact time and temperature that a food item begins to change its molecular structure. This enables the chefs to cook the food for optimum taste, quality, and texture. The result is restaurant quality food every time. The Sous-Vide process also pasteurizes the product and kills all forms of vegetative bacteria, and as the food is sealed in a bag, it is never handled after it is cooked -- until it's opened to heat and serve. As the product is 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. Almost all of the Michelin 3 star chefs in Europe and many of the top chefs in the US use this cooking method in their restaurants. Cuisine Solutions has mastered this method for large scale production.
