Cuisine Adventures is a broad term. For some people it’s eating a meal purchased from a Hanoi street vender while for others, trying a new vegetable or adding hot sauce to a bowl of chili creates a memorable eating event. For our product development team, Cuisine Adventures are found in foods that take you to new flavor destinations or out of the ordinary to the healthier, tastier food options you crave.
The Cuisine Adventures product line was founded by a professional chef and today our team still includes classically trained chefs and accredited food scientists who love to cook and eat. We start with fresh, wholesome ingredients and duplicate the same quality you’d strive for if you were cooking at home yourself. Then, we flash freeze each item to ensure that you enjoy freshly prepared taste that is always as good - or better! - than homemade.
Cuisine Adventures products are sold at most Costco stores in the United States and Canada as well as at some chain grocers. Use our Store Finder to find them near you.
