I was invited to join my friend Mary at an interesting event in Toronto where Chef David Hawksworh from the Restaurant Hawksworth in Vancouver, BC created a non-profit  Foundation in culinary arts  to recognize and inspire young Canadian chefs.  It was the finals for the Hawksworth Young Chef Competition. 

The goal was to lift young Canadian talent in the culinary industry and give them a great opportunity to work in some of Canada's top restaurants and to grow and elevate to a higher level of excellence in the food industry.

The winner of the Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship competition will receive $10,000, and a stage at a selected top international restaurant – giving them the inspiration and opportunity needed to develop their professional skills.

We had a great time chatting with Chef and Instagram celeb and his wife Leanne who works for World Vision where they both work on fundraising projects together by hosting dinners and travelling to Countries in need.

The appetizers were catered by Oliver an Bonnacini and they were all fantastic.  I especially enjoyed the mini Empanadas and the sliders were fantastic too.

I can't wait to see what all of these young chefs do in the coming years.

Congrats to all for your fabulous work.
