For the past 4 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to attend the BC Healthy Chef Competition. Co-sponsored by the BC Chefs' Association and the BC Produce Marketing Association, the purpose of this event is to promote healthy eating while raising money for the Mix it Up! campaign, Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Chefs representing 8 units were competing against each other by cooking up some tasty entrees and desserts using fruit and vegetables. Despite I received a media invitation this year, I once again joined a few other colleagues at work at this event.

I wanted to do it now also because of our recent trip to Naples, where we had the authentic Neapolitan pizzas from L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, a local pizzeria that has been around since 1870.
