Best Canadian Cookbooks 2021 | Canada's Best Cookbooks 2021

For the 24th consecutive year, Taste Canada Awards / Les Lauréats des Saveurs du Canada has announced the winners of the country’s only national, bilingual food writing awards for the Best Canadian Cookbooks 2021.

This year, 73 cookbooks entered the competition, representing authors from 9 provinces. A shortlist announced in June narrowed the competition to a maximum of 5 entries per category.

The 19 gold and silver award winners were revealed at the Taste Canada Awards Virtual Ceremony on November 14, streamed on Facebook Live, co-hosted by Shahir Massoud and Ariane Paré-Le Gal.

The annual ceremony brings together writers, publishers, chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, industry professionals, media and cookbook fans to promote a vibrant national conversation about food and the art and culture of culinary writing. The theme this year was One Canada. One Kitchen. Due to Covid, all of the programming was once again held online, including a new ambassador program, which brought together home cooks, chefs, and cookbook authors from across Canada.
