The producer of the Great Canadian Baking Show invited me by email to apply for Master Chef Canada! Crazy!! Update Sept 20: I received an invitation to audition. 😊 It’s in ten days... 7 am in Toronto... I have to bring a prepared dish, and will have three minutes to plate it for their pro taster. No kitchen facility, can’t bring any appliances if any type, must bring everything needed to serve and plate. Looks like I have a fun week of cooking ahead. 😊 Update September 30: today was audition day! I didn’t make it onto the show, but I had a really good day meeting some amazing people and new friends. For my audition dish I made scotch eggs using quail eggs and my own sausage, quick pickled green beans, and I made duck egg mayo and used it as a base for a horseradish mustard mayo dipping sauce. My eggs were a hit with my fellow applicants... I didn’t have any left to take home! The audition day was really long... I got in line at 6:35 am... and didn’t audition until after 3:30. The staff and people are so kind it really does make for a fun day. Although I am now officially a MasterLoser (haha, I am quite funny!) I am proud of the dish I made (all new things I tried this week for the first time), and I’m just so deeply appreciative for all the love, support, and encouragement I receive from so many people. I am truly a lucky woman. Here’s a 7 am bathroom selfie: And my audition dish: Thank you.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Thanks for sharing my surprise and excitement! I’ll probably apply because I like the challenge and push, but my cooking skills aren’t as strong as my baking skills and I’d be way less confident competing against people who’ve been cooking/eating meat for longer than a couple years.
