TORONTO — Now in its 27th year, Taste Canada has released its shortlist for the 2024 awards, which highlight Canadian cookbooks and celebrate their place in Canadian culture.
With the help from a jury comprised of volunteers from the culinary industry, Taste Canada has announced 44 titles from five different book categories (both in English and in French) that have made it onto this year’s shortlist. These books are in the running for a 2024 Gold or Silver Taste Canada award.
Authors, publishers, Cooks the Books participants (student cooking competition) and select industry partners will be invited to a celebration of this year’s shortlisted authors. Gold and Silver winners in each category in English-language books and French-language books will be announced during a cocktail reception. The winners of the 2024 Cooks the Books, presented by Canadian Beef and the Taste Canada Hall of Fame presented by the Culinary Historians of Canada will also be revealed. The Taste of Canada Awards soiree will be held in Toronto on Oct. 21, 2024 (date subject to change).
Additionally, Cooks the Books is returning this year on Oct. 20, 2024 at Cirillo’s Academy Toronto. Students will be invited to showcase their unique recipe creation featuring a cut of Canadian beef and present their dish to a panel of judges.
