The Kid Food Nation national recipe contest asks kids across the country to share their love of good food by submitting original, healthy recipes that highlight their culture or their Canadian pride.
From hundreds of entries, we chose 26 winning recipes! The winners will receive a prize pack, participate in a virtual cooking lesson with a celebrity chef, and be featured in our 2021 Kid Food Nation cookbook.
Kid Food Nation is created through the partnership with President’s Choice Children’s Charity, Corus Entertainment, and BGC Canada.
