RIVIERA MAYA, MX. August 21, 2017 — Michel Mustiere has been named Culinary Director of Mexico's “Beyond All Inclusive, Beyond All Compare” Velas Resorts in Los Cabos, Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta. In his newly created position, he will spearhead everything from new menu development and culinary events with visiting chefs to “foodie” experiences for the company's five luxury, all-inclusive resorts. He will also lead the team of executive chefs in the resorts' 22 gourmet restaurants, from French and Asian, to Mexican, Italian, and a contemporary tasting venue, Cocina de Autor. Most recently, Mustiere was Executive Chef of Grand Velas Riviera Maya where he spearheaded world class culinary events including the North American conference for the Maitres Cuisiniers de France (Master Chefs of France) and Academie Culinaire de France as well as the Best of France and Mexico with celebrity chefs Carlos Gaytan, Francisco 'Paco' Ruano, Mikel Alonso, Christian Têtedoie, Claude Le-Tohic, and others.

With more than 25 years of culinary experience in various countries and different prestigious restaurants and hotels worldwide, Mustiere is one of only 10 chefs in Mexico to attain the prestigious Master Chef of France title. His formal training and years of leading the culinary teams demands an extreme attention to the details of each dish. He refuses to use thickening agents in the majority of his sauces and instead allows them to reduce for upwards of 12 hours if needed. No shortcuts are taken in Mustiere's kitchen as he makes ample use of hot sous vide and dehydration techniques that insure the food's essential flavors come forth.
