Cooking at the Royal

Tomorrow at the Royal Winter Fair I will be mentoring three students from Liason College, Oakville, as they cook and present to the judges a dish from my recent book Canada’s Favourite Recipes (authored with Elizabeth Baird). Since the book was short listed, we were invited to take part in “Taste Canada Cooks the Books” a stage event at which a number of culinary colleges will compete for the top prize to be announced at the Gala Reception on Monday, November 4th when the top cookbooks in the country will also be annouced. The recipe our students will make and plate from 1:30 to 2:30 is Gnocchi con Sugo de Pomodoro (Potato Dumplings with Tomato Sauce) contributed to Canada’s Favourite Recipes by Daiene Vernile, anchor and producer of CTV’s PovinceWide show along with a wonderful story about her arrival in Canada from Italy.
