Do you have a family recipe that has been passed down through generations and deserves to be shared? The Une recette, une histoire contest is your chance to share your culinary memories and celebrate the treasures of tradition.
The recipe must be prepared as a team. Each team must include at least one person aged 55 or older and one person from another generation (child or adult).
This contest includes the unique opportunity to win a $1,000 IGA gift card and have your recipe published in a cookbook to be released in 2026. This is a great way to share your culinary knowledge with your loved ones and keep your family recipes alive.
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food funded this initiative.
