Children raise your spatulas. Get ready for the competition that will determine Canada’s top junior jerk chef! Grace Foods has put out the call for youngsters between the ages of 9 and 15 to don aprons and enter their annual Junior Chef Culinary Competition.  There is a total of  $1,500 in prize money waiting to be won!
“This is a really great experience for kids who have a love of food,” said Prize coordinator Petronilla Marchan. “This is all about learning how to create tasty dishes using nourishing Caribbean ingredients. “
The Jamaican food company says that it wants to provide a platform for aspiring young foodies to demonstrate their culinary skills and to promote a passion for healthy eating. “This contest is open to everyone,” continued Ms. Marchan. “You don’t have to be Caribbean to cook with jerk.”
Grace Food has set up a website (www.juniorchef.ca) where a parent or guardian can get information on how to enter a child in the cooking competition.   The sky is the limit on what the junior chefs dream up with three caveats – the recipe must include coconut water and at least one Grace jerk product. And finally, the dish has to be cooked on an outdoor grill in front of an audience of hungry kids at the coming Junior Carnival Parade and Family Day fete.
A demonstration tent will be set up at the afternoon Family Day event in Neilson Park, following the morning Kiddies Parade.  Organizers of the competition will have established Toronto chefs to help the children out as they cook up their recipes.
Children and a parent or guardian have until June 25 to enter the competition.  The Parade, Family Day and Cook-Off takes place July 21st  rain or shine, at the Neilson Park  in Malvern, Scarborough.
Seven junior chefs will be chosen to compete from all of the entries. Prior to the cook-off there will be an orientation session with the finalists, guest celebrities, chefs and the Toronto Public Health Department!
All seven children will received prizes. Top Prize is $700.00, Second Prize is $500.00 and Third Prize is $300.00.

. . Sublimnos No Longer Out Of Sight … And Definitely Not Out of Mind By Stephen Weir It will take a long long time for a piece of Canadian dive history to rust into dust. Given the hard feelings surrounding the historic Sublimnos Project, the deteriorating, remains of that underwater habitat could well be an above-water Lake Ontario eyesore for years until rust indeed becomes dust. Back in the summer of 1969 Sublimnos was set down in the waters of Georgian Bay near Tobermory, Ontario the self-described "fresh water scuba diving capital of the world" .It was a bargain basement underwater research station. Constructed from a railroad tanker for just $10,000.00, Sublimnos became Canada’s first subsurface research laboratory. From 1969 to 1971 the Sublimnos project, funded and spearhead by physician, author, explorer and frequent Diver Magazine contributor Dr. Joe McInnis, was headline news around the world. Built to accommodate up to four divers at a time, in its first two-ye...

Celtic ink with 3 waves for the dive world Stripping down in Little Cayman's only food store Little Cayman Island, population 200, attracts only two types of visitors.  Ornithologists. Experienced Scuba Divers. Ornithologists because of the birds. The largest colony of Red Footed Boobies in the Caribbean is found on Little Cayman's Booby Pond. Scuba Divers go there because of the sheer wall of coral found in the island's underwater preserve, just north of the island. My wife and I returned from Little Cayman Island on Sunday.  We weren't there for the birds. Flamingo is the logo for dive haven Bonaire. We spent most of our week on a couple of dive boats. One large scuba boat was operated by Reef Divers out of the Little Cayman Resort.  The other, a small Boston Whaler operated by three divers, was out on the reef hunting the invasive lionfish...
