The Canadian Culinary Book Awards promise lots of excitement on Friday, November 6th. But once the speeches are over and the reception food gobbled, things really start cooking. Literally.

We have a baker’s dozen of celebrity chefs lined up at the cooking stage. Some of Canada’s best known culinary stars will be sharing their secret ingredients while chef students from Liaison College, Georgian College, Stratford Chefs School and George Brown College prepare a signature dish.

As if that wasn’t enough? At each cooking presentation, six lucky people will win a place at “Canada’s Dinner Table.” The prize? Savouring the plated meal.

Want to know who’s cooking what? We’ve posted the schedule below. Want a copy? Print this: Celebrity Author Cooking Schedule
