DISCOVER CANADA'S DIVERSITY IN DELICIOUS FOOD STORIES AND RECIPES A champion of Canadian cookbooks and food writers, Taste Canada inspires and encourages readers at home and abroad to discover delicious recipes and diverse food stories written from a Canadian perspective. Taste Canada brings together Canadian food and beverage writers, publishers, chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, industry, post-secondary culinary colleges, media and cookbook fans, recognizing that food connects us all. Since 1998, Taste Canada has presented awards to some of the best Canadian cookbook authors and food writers in both official languages. The jury is comprised of volunteers from Canada's culinary profession appointed by an independent selection committee. Awards are presented each year at a one-of-a-kind gastronomic Gala in Toronto where food and beverage writers, publishers, chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, industry, post-secondary culinary colleges, media and cookbook fans gather to promote vibrant national conversation about food and the art and culture of culinary writing. Taste Canada also presents Cooks the Books, a student chef battle.
