KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2002

"As a mother of two with a full time career, by the time dinner rolls around, cooking is often the last thing I feel like doing," says Katherine Kehrli.

What's Kehrli's solution? Start a business of course: founder and owner of Cuizam! Cook & Carry Cuisine(TM) Kehrli has specially designed a home meal replacement program for busy lifestyles. Cuizam's! efficient meal programs offer a quick, fun and affordable way to transform five hours of cooking time into nearly a month's worth of great tasting home-cooked meals.

After 13 years of wearing a sales and marketing hat for Corporate America, Kehrli left the rat race 20 months ago with the birth of her second son. An enthusiastic cook, she has taken many cooking courses, maintains an active participation in a local food and wine group and now has the answer to the age old question, "What's for dinner?" She confesses that while she loves to cook, busy lifestyles and maximizing time with family has her reaching far too often for the conveniences of the grocery deli counter or scooting down the freezer aisle. "That's why I founded Cuizam!. I wanted to provide busy people with the ideal solution."

Partnering up with Geri Paul Parks, Program Coordinator and Chef Richard Kost, Cuizam! meals are prepared in a state-of-the-art professional kitchen. Kost, formerly executive chef of the award winning Place Pigalle, will leave participants informed and prepared for their next cooking adventure with his casual and upbeat delivery of cooking lore and techniques.

Once a month participants arrive at Cuizam! for a few hours of cooking extravaganza: working together in teams with Cuizam!'s highly trained culinary staff to prepare and cook the food. Once the food is done, it is portioned into appropriate servings, vacuum-packaged and readied for the home freezer. From Cider Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Fall Fruit Chutney to Salmon Cakes with Yogurt Dill Sauce and Prima Vera Rice Pilaf, Cuizam! meals use only the highest quality ingredients and are carefully crafted to freeze well, reheat quickly and be on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Menu options change monthly and feature an array of 10-12 contemporary entrees and side dishes including child-friendly options. Sessions start Oct. 1, 2002, and are currently booking through November. Meal program times are offered days and evenings, Monday through Saturday, and are limited to 16 clients per session.
