Teams were each made up of two full-time culinary students from a dedicated Canadian culinary program.<\/span><\/p>\n Each team created their own unique dish following the Cooks the Books criteria with a \u201cCanadian Focus with Global Influence\u201d theme to celebrate the foods grown and produced in Canada and our unique diversity. A recipe is made up of so much more than just the ingredients used to create a dish. The techniques, equipment and presentation all play a role in the final experience. Students were challenged to think of how Canadian ingredients can be transformed into an ethnically diverse and interesting recipe using global influences.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”Visit the Cooks the Books Page” color=”green” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ftastecanada.org%2F2021-cooks-the-books%2F|||”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/M8VW_OUdYgQ” align=”center”][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″] 2021 Taste Canada Virtual Awards Ceremony In 2021, 73 cookbooks entered the competition from authors across Canada.
