If you’ve checked out my blog before, then you probably already know that I kind of adore cookbooks. ADORE.
So, imagine my shock when I was asked to be a Blogger Ambassador for this year’s Taste Canada Awards! I’ll be covering the red carpet, Gala and the after-party and I couldn’t be more excited!
The Taste Canada Awards Gala, hosted this year by CBC radio personality Mary Ito, is taking place at the Arcadian Court in Toronto this Monday, November 14, where 22 winners will be presented with a Gold or Silver Award. At the Gala, Taste Canada Awards will also name this year’s Hall of Fame Award inductees (living and posthumous) sponsored by The Culinary Historians of Canada. After the Awards are presented, the after-party will feature more than a dozen chef-led food stations presented by Toronto’s most celebrated chefs.
About the Taste Canada Awards
Taste Canada Awards is the only organization in Canada that recognizes our country’s talented roster of outstanding culinary writers. The mission of Taste Canada Awards is to be the authoritative culinary writing award in Canada by showcasing and recognizing the best. Our vision is to promote Canadian-authored culinary writing so it is recognized as world class. Drawn from Canadian academic, publishing, creative and institutional fields, the independent panel of judges reviews submissions across six categories. In 2015, the total units sold in Canada for books in the “Cooking” subject category amounted to 1.3 million for a total value of $38.7 million, according to BookNet Canada.
