Calling kid chefs!

You’ve seen the cookbooks. You’ve seen the YTV ads. Our Kid Food Nation recipe competition is back!

The contest asks kids ages 7 – 13 across the country to share original, healthy recipes that highlight their culture or their Canadian pride.

With the help of their parent/guardian, kid chefs can submit their recipe at:

www.kidfoodnation.com

Submissions for the 2019 competition will be accepted until March 31, 2019.

Winners and their families will attend our Kid Food Nation gala this fall in Toronto, where they’ll rub shoulders with famous Canadians and have their recipes featured on the gala menu. Last year, Minister of Health Ginette Petitpas Taylor and Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam both attended the event, along with YTV host Carlos Bustamante.
