On October 21st, 2011 Osteoporosis Canada held its 5th
Annual Bone Appétit Chef Challenge presented by Gay Lea Foods at The Old Mill Inn & Spa, one of Toronto’s
most beautiful and historic venues. This premiere event featured four celebrated local chefs – Lynn Crawford,
Christian Pritchard, Anthony Rose, and Donna Dooher – competing to be crowned the Bone Appétit Chef Challenge
Champion.
Each chef planned and prepared a “bone friendly” dish for the event live on our stage, using calcium and
vitamin D rich foods in his or her recipe to highlight the ways in which we can enjoy tasty food that also
helps protect our bones.
After each chef prepared his or her recipe on the kitchen stage, the audience had the opportunity to
sample the dish at one of the four tasting stations located around the elegant venue. At the end of the
evening, each member of the audience casted a ballot for their favourite dish to determine the chef of the
winning dish.
Once the votes were in and counted Anthony Rose, executive chef of the Drake Hotel, won over the taste
buds of the audience with his "Roast Maple Pork
Loin" and was named the Bone Appétit Chef Champion for the 2nd year running.
Other dishes included; Lynn Crawford's "Warm Orange Rice
Pudding", Christian Pritchard's "Sesame
and Poppy Seed Encrusted Salmon" and Donna Dooher's "Curried
Cauliflower".
Osteoporosis Canada would like to thank the event's sponsors, the chefs and all who came to help make this
a fabolous night to enjoy and support our initiative!
