Contribute to our Community Cookbook!

We are excited to announce the first edition of our Community Cookbook, titled "Taste of Parkdale: Local Recipes from PCFB's Community"!


We are looking for your help to make this cookbook a success. Whether it's your grandma's famous soup recipe or your own twist on avocado toast, we want to see it all!

To make this recipe challenge accessible and affordable to everyone, we have put some guidelines in place. But don't worry, they're designed to make the contest more exciting as well!

There are five categories that community members can choose to submit recipes to, with one winner being selected from each category. The categories are as follows:

  1. Quick Meals: All entries for this category must be able to be prepared in 30 minutes or less.

  2. Microwave Meals: All entries for this category must not use a stove or oven. They must be prepared using a microwave only.

  3. Mandatory Ingredient Category: All entries in this category must contain the selected ingredient. For Fall/Winter 2023 our mandatory ingredient is: LENTILS.

  4. Specific Dish Category: All entries in this category must be for creating the selected dish. For Fall/Winter 2023 our selected dish is: SOUP.

  5. Dessert Category: All entries in this category must be for a dessert recipe.


All entries will be judged based on originality, accessibility, affordability, and adherence to challenge guidelines. Please note that contestants may submit one recipe for each category (for a total of five submissions). If your recipe is selected, you will receive a $25 gift card to the Dufferin Mall.

All entries must be submitted by October 18th. We look forward to seeing your delicious creations and sharing them with the community. Thank you for your participation and good luck!
