Step aside Jamie Oliver!


Do you love to cook? Does your family have a recipe that’s been passed down from generation to generation?  Perhaps you cook together with your family? Do you think you've got what it takes to win a cooking competition? Food Network Canada is currently looking far and wide (well, far and wide within the borders of Canada) to get the best families that love to cook together.

"Family Cook Off" is Food Network Canada’s latest and greatest game show cooking competition like no other. Twenty-four families will go head to head to see who is the better and faster cook.  Think “Family Feud” meets “Iron Chef”. Teams are made up of four relatives (parents and children, siblings and grandparents, aunts and uncles, you get the picture). One team member prepares the appetizer, two members cook the main entrĂ©e and the remaining team member prepares the dessert all the while the audience is cheering and the clock is ticking. You have 20 minutes to complete each dish! Dishes are graded by a panel of judges, based on taste, presentation and creativity for a total of 10 points.

Shot on location in beautiful Vancouver, this show will have it all: emotion, fun-filled entertainment for all ages, charismatic host, celebrity judges and a live audience.

So, if you’re a hobby chef and you love to cook with your family, this could be your chance for those fifteen minutes of fame.  

Email cookoff@forcefour.com to let them know you’re interested and one of their lovely Story Producers will get back to you with a questionnaire.

Good luck!
