Grafton Chef is Recognized for Homegrown Ontario™ Dish

Guelph, ON, September 2007 — When Homegrown Ontario asked consumers to nominate a favourite restaurant meal prepared with Ontario pork, veal or lamb the entries came in from as far west as Brantford and as far east as Alexandria. The Homegrown Ontario Recipe Contest showcased what the talented chefs of this province are doing with Ontario produced pork, veal and lamb and the results were delectable. The entries were narrowed down and the top six were prepared and judged on originality, visual appeal and taste.

Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Shrimp created by Chef Christopher Ennew of Ste. Anne’s Spa was submitted by Sadie Nairn of Grafton, Ontario and stood out as the clear winner. For nominating the winning recipe Nairn will receive a $500 gift certificate to use at any of the 39 inns represented by Ontario’s Finest Inns.

In second place was the Ontario Lamb Rack Roasted Pink from the Elora Mill Inn nominated by Carolann Westbrook of Brantford. The veal marsala at the Georgian House in Alexandria nominated by Frei Caecilia of Maxville placed third.
