      Cuisine Solutions, Inc., (AMEX:FZN) the leading premium fully-cooked, 
      frozen food manufacturer and world leader in sous-vide cooking, 
      announced today that it will join forces with the world’s 
      top chefs, including two of their own Fiveleaf chef partners, Chef 
      Daniel Boulud and Chef Thomas Keller, to help support and prepare the 
      selected US team for competition at the international culinary event 
      Bocuse d’Or. This rigorous competition starts 
      this coming weekend in Orlando with the selection of one team out of 
      eight to represent the USA in Lyon, France January 27-28 2009. The US 
      Team is being assisted by Fiveleaf Chefs, Thomas Keller and Daniel 
      Boulud. Cuisine Solutions’ Fiveleaf subsidiary 
      will provide 3 days of sous-vide training to the winners of the US 
      competition to prepare them for the final competition. Stanislas 
      Vilgrain, Cuisine Solutions’ CEO and 
      President, states “This competition is a 
      showcase of US innovation and talent in the kitchen. To support the US 
      team, we have offered our services to help Daniel and Thomas bring 
      victory to the US.” Cuisine Solutions recently 
      began formal training classes in sous-vide and with its recent 
      acquisition of CREA in Paris. Cuisine Solutions and CREA have advanced 
      knowledge and scientific studies of sous-vide cooking as no one else 
      has. Cuisine Solutions’ recently announced 
      plans for a future sous-vide training facility in the US, which has 
      already attracted a lot of attention. Its CREA facility has been 
      training chef’s on the innovative technique 
      since the early 90’s. Cuisine Solutions and 
      the other sponsors want to wish the finalists good luck as we hope to 
      bring a Championship to the US for the first time in the twenty year 
      history of the event.
