What is the Culinary Arts Cook-Off?
It's a friendly competition of professional chefs and amateur "chefs" from local kitchens and businesses doing what they do best – create amazing food! Competitors are given a theme
– the Cookie-off Edition –
and the challenge is to create a culinary creation that outshines all others. Cookie creations are sold for a loonie-a-taste — while quantities last!
4 Award Categories: Kids' Choice, Judges' Choice, People's Choice, & Most Unique.
