the McIntosh Apple, Ontario’s gift
to the world, Foodland Ontario
sponsored a recipe contest - ‘Your
Favorite Apple Dessert’. Over 700
recipes poured in from across
Ontario. The winning recipes are a
testament to treasured traditions:

pie is still as popular as ever!
Fifteen prizes were awarded and

author; Carroll Allen, editor of

food writer for Canadian Press;
Helen Gagen and Lucy Waverman,

40 years on the Canadian National
School-on-Wheels now being re
stored as an historical landmark in
Clinton. After spending nearly 20
years on Vancouver Island and in
northern Alberta, she returned in
the area three years ago in order to
become involved with the restora

where she spent her childhood.
A graduate of Ryerson Polytech
nical Institute in Toronto, Ms.
Rainey has worked on weekly
prominent magazine and news
paper food journalists.
The judges agreed that most of
the recipes were variations of
old-fashioned favorites but with
some new twists.
To qualify for the Foodland
apple dessert contest, the recipes
had to contain at least 4 Ontario
apples. As well, all other important
ingredients should be grown in
Ontario. Approximately 40 recipes
were tested and judged on appear
ance, taste (flavor/texture), com
plexity, originality and use of
Ontario ingredients.
