Cook Together, Eat Together and Celebrate Family Dinner

ONLY one week left to enter The Hands-On Cook-Off Contest

BC’s popular, multi-generational cooking contest is open for just one more week! The Hands-on Cook-off contest celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and challenges families across the province to cook and eat together until May 15th, with the ultimate goal of promoting the family dinner movement in BC. By taking part, the family-friendly video contest encourages participants of all ages (our youngest competitor to date was only 18 months old and our oldest 96!) to reap the benefits of cooking together, eating together, and most importantly, making lasting memories together in the kitchen.

  • Over the past ten years, this contest has seen countless BC families support the family dinner movement with…
  • Over 335 video entries submitted since 2010
  • Over $35,000 in cash and in-kind prizes awarded since 2010
  • Over 45 towns throughout BC represented in the contest, including entries from cities as big as Vancouver and Victoria, and as small as Enderby and Castlegar!
This contest is a tradition that many BC families look forward to each year, and for good reason: new research confirms that families that cook together and share meals on a regular basis experience valuable lifelong benefits, such as improved dietary intake and healthier overall eating habits, including higher intakes of fruits and vegetables and lower intakes of fast food and takeout meals for both female and male youths in both high-functioning and low-functioning family environments.

This year, more than $4,500 of cash and in-kind prizes will be up for grabs, including a grand prize of $1,000 cash, as determined by a notable panel of celebrity judges including:
