Recipe to Riches
Recipe to Riches is a Canadian television reality show, in which home cooks from around the country competed to have their recipe become a President's Choice product. Competitors bring their home cooked meal to one of the cross-Canada open casting calls where a panel of judges critique their food based on taste, mass appeal, and marketing potential. The series concept was developed by Allan Novak together with Theresa-Kowall-Shipp.
