It was a super fun night and 3 years later I knew so many more people than I did the first year I attended and really enjoyed hanging out with my fellow bloggers now that there is a new Blog Category. My goal is to keep improving my Blog and enter again next year. There are so many fantastic bloggers that my chances are slim but I will keep trying anyway because you never know.
I hope to be there again next year for more fun.

Canada Cooks the Books
Taste Canada Cooks the Books is a cooking
competition that 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. Cooks the Books is presented
by Taste Canada Awards and by the Alberta Canola Producers, sponsored by The
Egg Farmers of Canada, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair
and Ricardo Cuisine.
The teams are paired with a culinary
author and given the challenge to recreate a recipe from the author’s
cookbook, along with their own signature garnish. This year, the students will
compete in front of food lovers, industry professionals and peers at the Royal
Agricultural Winter Fair on November 12th and 13th. A mentoring
author who will offer guidance and motivation will join the teams on stage. A
panel of notable culinary experts will judge the competition. The winners will
be announced at the Taste Canada Awards Gala on November 14th where
they will be presented with prizes, a letter of recommendation and a trophy to
display at their school.
