Canadian Living KitchenAid 2007 Cook of the Year Contest

Calling all Chef wannabes (me included)! This is our chance to make our mark on the cooking world!

Last years winner, Dan Roberts took the top honour for home cooks in Canada: He was named the Canadian Living Cook of the Year with his winning recipe: Stuffed Beef Tenderloin with Rösti Potatoes.

Here's how it works:
You are given a list of ingredients. You then get some wildcard ingredients to add to the list (I'm clearly adding some Domaine Pinnacle Ice Cider to the list- food judges are happier when their tipsy). You then make a fabulous original recipe and submit it. The Canadian Living Test Kitchen will choose the top 16 recipes from across Canada. From these, we'll select four finalists, who will fly to Toronto to compete in a cook-off in The Canadian Living Test Kitchen on June 22, where the Cook of the Year will be chosen by a panel of food professionals.

The winners will get to see their photos and recipes published in an upcoming issue of Canadian Living, which could be even cooler than the grand prize, a bunch of kitchenAid appliances.

PS: My buddy Hubba (see pic of her below in her office) says she's gonna win. I have $10 in my pocket that says that I get further in the competition than she does. (Okay, truth be told, it was Hubba that told me about the contest so if any of us win we owe her a cut. Its like if someone buys you a coffee from Timmy's during roll-up-the-rim time and you win a donut- you owe that person a bite.)
