After going head to head in a cook-off this morning, on CTV’s The Marilyn Denis Show our two finalist families from the 2018 Little Chef: Family Edition Competition have BOTH won an ultimate culinary experience in Tuscany! The culinary judging panel included: our very own CEO and Co-Founder Angela Santiago, MasterChef Canada Judge Michael Bonacini, and YouTube’s Vijaya Selvaraju.

Both the Bell Family from Comox, BC, and the Sparling Family from Edmonton, Alberta, inspired the judges with their love of cooking together and when it came time to choose one winner, we just couldn’t do it!

We are thrilled to congratulate both families who will be heading off to Italy for an incredible culinary experience in Tuscany.

The Cook-Off

Each family served up a multi-dish meal fit for all ages.The dishes all included our Creamer potatoes and were presented to the judging panel.
