Taste Canada Cooks

Taste Canada Cooks the Books is a cooking competition. It invites culinary students from Canadian cooking schools to compete for the title of Canada’s Best New Student Chefs. The event is presented by Taste Canada Awards and the Alberta Canola Producers, and sponsored by Summer Fresh Foods. The schools also participated in a draw. The winners named team #BeefBelongs represent the Cook the Book’s new Educational Awareness Partner Think Beef.

For the first time the students will be challenged to develop and write their own unique recipes. This is to experience and discover the dynamic world of food writing. The teams will battle it out in an open kitchen arena at Mildred’s Temple Kitchen in Toronto. Fighting for the attention of the notable culinary experts on the judge’s panel. The students will be evaluated on their kitchen performance, sensory delivery and their technical recipe writing skills. The winners will be announced at the 2018 Taste Canada Awards Gala. They’ll be presented with prizes and a letter of recommendation. The Gold winning team will be awarded with the Taste Canada trophy to display at their school.
