The Chopped Canada Teen finale aired on Boxing Day in Canada with the winners of the previous four episodes competing for $20,000 (a little surprised that the finalists – winners from the previous four episodes – weren’t awarded anything. Honestly, $1,000 to $2,500 towards their education would have been great!). Mystery ingredients for the three […]
Well, episode four was the last show before the final round, which will air on December 26 – Boxing Day – on Food Network Canada. Ingredients on this episode included frozen deep fried pickles and tempeh in the appetizer round as well as white chocolate chips and pizza dough for dessert. However, for the main […]
With Christmas coming up, why not use the dessert round’s ingredients to create a sweet casserole dish for Christmas morning (who cares if the kids are going to get more hyper? It’s Christmas Day. It’s allowed). In the basket for round three were: crumpets, quince, butterscotch chips and whole allspice. Not too difficult to combine. […]
There are always weird ingredients on Chopped, regardless of whether the chefs are adult professionals or kids! On episode 2, these included “ants on a log” (peanut butter and raisins on celery) and “marshmallow rice cereal” treats (basically Rice Krispies squares, but Chopped never gets food brand sponsorship (why IS that, anyway??), so a generic […]
This past Saturday, the very first episode of Chopped Canada’s teen edition aired, featuring kids between 13 and 17. It was also the first show with the new host, Brad Smith, who is a former contestant of The Bachelor Canada. The kids used ingredients ranging from toaster pastries (chocolate flavoured) to beef and fish sauce. […]
Home-grown soprano, Emily D’Angelo not only takes home the grand prize of $5,000, but was also picked as the audience’s choice winner (last year’s winner, Charles Sy was also picked by the audience), worth $1,500. The first and second runners up, each collecting $3,000 and $1,500 respectively, were Lauren Eberwein and Bruno Roy. In total, […]
Centre Stage, The Canadian Opera Company’s annual competition for its Ensemble Studio program will be held on November 3, 2015. As many of you may know, the Ensemble Studio is a unique program where talented singers are given the opportunity to train with the Canadian Opera Company. First, second and third place winners will be […]
Today is my birthday. Incidently, it is also DelectablyChic!‘s birthday. Five years ago today, the two year old Prospere Magazine became DelectablyChic!. Though there were a couple of posts which went live before September 1, 2010, the first “official” post was a restaurant review of Cantine, located on Avenue Road, just north of Bloor. What […]
I finished Harper Lee’s book last week and after thinking about it, can finally write how I feel. I read To Kill a Mockingbird in Grade 8, part of our English curriculum. Like most people, I loved the book and saw Atticus Finch as some sort of hero, especially for that time period. It is […]
Episode 26 is season 2’s finale, so there won’t be another Chopped Canada write-up until season 3 premieres, probably some time in 2016. For the main course, the mystery ingredients were: trout caviar, lotus root, brunost cheese and butterscotch rice cakes. Kind of a random box, I think. I know some people complained about the […]
