BUC Cook-Off Registration 2026

Welcome

We are excited to announce, by popular demand, the “BUC Youth Cook-Off Challenge 2026”, presented by the Youth Department of Bethlehem United Church. This year, we are hosting this exciting event for the second time and invite all youths aged 13–30 to join us in a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and culinary talent.

The competition will feature nine teams of six participants each. Additionally, we have created a space for individual participants who wish to be part of a team. In total, we have 60 spots available. Teams will compete by preparing three courses: an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. These dishes will be judged by a panel of Culinary Arts Chefs from across Canada. All dishes will be made in a test kitchen setting.

This event aims to enhance your creativity, time management, and teamwork skills. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow.
