Meet Our Chief Scientist
Dr. Bruno Goussault is recognized as the founder of modern sous vide. In 1971, Dr. Goussault discovered that if beef was vacuum-sealed in a specially designed pouch and slowly cooked at a slightly-lower-than-usual temperature, it showed little sign of profit-robbing shrinkage compared to conventional cooking methods. Plus, the flavor was notably enhanced.A TRUE VISIONARY
The Albert Einstein Legacy Project’s Genius: 100 Visions of the Future initiative is an honor that recognizes the world’s 100 greatest living visionaries. The initiative is part of the Albert Einstein Foundation’s centennial celebration of the world-renowned physicist’s Theory of Relativity, a scientific advancement that quite literally changed how we view the world.
Dr. Goussault’s groundbreaking work on the sous vide cooking method without a doubt qualifies him as a visionary. As a Genius honoree, he joins the ranks of many distinguished recipients, including spiritual leader Deepak Chopra, architect Frank Gehry, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, film producer/director Sir Ridley Scott, Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, former New York City mayor and philanthropist Michael Bloomberg, and Nobel Laureate in Physics Dr. Steven Chu, and many other Nobel Laureates and luminaries.
As part of this honor, Dr. Goussault will contribute to an accompanying book project. Genius: 100 Visions of the Future is the world’s first 3D-printed book and will feature the visions of the 100 greatest innovators, artists, scientists, and thought leaders of our time. The limited-edition publication, conceptualized by world-renowned designer Ron Arad, is shaped like a bust of Albert Einstein and will be a celebration of this generation’s visionaries.
