Renowned Chef Charlie Trotter Endorses Use Of Cuisine Solutions for Large Volumes
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Speaking to a room filled with large volume foodservice providers at a celebrity chef tasting event in Chicago on December 14th, Chef Charlie Trotter recommended attendees use Cuisine Solutions for their large volume events. ''It's a great logistical challenge for chefs to try and stay very true to their cuisine, their quality philosophy, while at the same time trying to create something that's executable for hundreds or thousands of people,'' Chef Trotter said. ''The flavors and high quality of Cuisine Solutions products speak for themselves. I love the idea that great food can be created consistently and simultaneously for many, many people.''
Chef Trotter discussed his interest in the perception of sous vide cooking in the United States. ''Unfortunately there's a stigma attached to that style of cooking in this country when it's actually a very sophisticated method.'' The sous vide cooking process involves cooking food in a sealed package at precise temperatures to achieve maximum flavors and food quality. Because the food is cooked in a contained environment, flavors are enriched and retained until the product is served. Many of today's top chefs in France continue to employ the sous vide cooking method. ''I predict that we're going to see an overwhelmingly increased usage of sous vide cooking in the U.S. in the next five years,'' Chef Trotter noted.
Chef Trotter and his team prepared a seven course tasting menu using Cuisine Solutions products for the chefs, catering directors, general managers and other attendees. The menu included Hot Smoked Salmon Terrine with Lucine Olive Oil and Myer Lemon Juice; Chilean Sea Bass with Ginger-Soy-Hijiki Sauce and Buck Wheat Soba Noodles; Duck Breast with Foie Gras Tortellini, Chanterelle Mushrooms and Consomme and more.
''We're thrilled to have Chef Trotter join us in our mission to lift the quality of food served in the high volume setting,'' said Cuisine Solutions Executive Vice President Mike McCloud. ''With the help of Chef Trotter, we look forward to creating new products that reflect his high standards.'' Cuisine Solutions is working with today's top chefs to enable more people in the large volume setting to enjoy high quality food.
