Taste Canada Cooks the Books

TORONTO — As part of last night’s Taste Canada Awards, the results of the Taste Canada Cooks the Books were revealed. The cooking competition invites Canadian culinary students from across the nation to compete for the title of Canada’s Best New Student Chefs. Taste Canada Cooks the Books showcases the talent of Canada’s next generation of chefs, honours the authors and brings some of this year’s outstanding submitted cookbooks to life.

The competition paired teams with a culinary author and gave them the challenge to recreate a recipe from an author’s cookbook, along with their own signature garnish. This year, the students competed in front of food lovers, industry professionals and peers at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair on November 12th and 13th. A mentoring author who offered guidance and motivation joined the teams on stage. A panel of notable culinary experts judged the competition.

The winners were announced at the Taste Canada Awards Gala on November 14th where they were presented with prizes, a letter of recommendation and a trophy to display at their school.
