Cook the Books Teams

Keeping with the 2020 theme of Farm to Kitchen, students were challenged to develop a unique recipe using only ingredients grown, produced and raised in Canada to highlight their versatility and seasonality. This year, eight teams rose to the occasion to compete, virtually, in this incredible event.

This competition was presented in partnership with the Canola Eat Well and Grain Farmers of Ontario, with Educational Awareness Partner, Canada Beef.

Thank you to the Cooks the Books judges, Claire Tansey, Anna Olson and Mark Burton for sharing their food writing and culinary expertise with the 2020 competitors.
