THE SOUS VIDE EXPERT

Sous Vide Tools, the UK’s leading supplier of sous vide equipment, has extended its team to further its specialist business consultancy offering. Chris Holland, Great British Menu 2013 contestant and head chef at 3AA Rosette Alderley Edge Hotel, comes on board full-time from January 2015 as chef director.

After three years as its part-time development chef, Sous Vide Tools will now have Chris on hand full-time. Having cooked using the sous vide technique for over 10 years, Chris’ sous vide knowledge is second to none. Businesses and chefs can now access expert sous vide advice, training and menu development whilst learning how to incorporate the flavour-enhancing cooking technique into their food service.

Commenting on the role Chris said: “Sous vide cooking has been an important part of almost everything I have achieved in my working career. It gives me great pleasure to pass on my knowledge and expertise and I’m looking forward to helping more businesses implement this clever cooking technique into their kitchens.”

Alex Shannon, managing director at Sous Vide Tools, said: “We sell an extensive range of high quality sous vide products and provide excellent expert advice, training and technical support but wanted to take this to the next level.”

“With Chris on board we’ll now be able to give even more advice and support to chefs and businesses, and further develop our online advice, recipes and tips as well as offering wider consultancy and specialist training.”
