SURREY (NEWS1130) – One of our Foodie Friday contributors is heading to TV!
Surrey’s Mijune Pak from Follow Me Foodie will be a contestant on Recipes to Riches on The Food Network.
“It’s pretty much American Idol but for recipes,” says Pak. “So it’s made for stay-at-home bakers and amateur bakers and cooks.”
On the show, contestants compete against each other armed with their chosen dishes. In Mijune’s case, she’s got her Canadian Pie in a Jar.
“Canada’s known as a melting pot of cultures and I created a melting pie of cultures,” says Pak. “It’s an almond crust with cardamom and Mexican vanilla bean-spiced Bartlett and Asian pears and I topped it with a maple-cinnamon creme brulee crust.”
Featuring Canadian, French, Asian and Mexican flavours, it reflects our country’s multiculturalism.
Catch Mijune on Recipes to Riches next Wednesday night, Oct. 19, on The Food Network.
