TORONTO — CBC is cooking up some changes on a hit culinary competition that’s new to the network.

Carlo Rota, known for his appearances on shows such as Little Mosque on the Prairie and The Great Canadian Food Show, will join Recipe to Riches as its host.

The reality show invites amateur Canadian home cooks to share their original personal recipes with the country and compete for a weekly $25,000 prize, a chance at the series grand prize of $250,000, and the opportunity to have their dish reproduced for sale as a President’s Choice brand product.

Recipe to Riches originally aired on Food Network Canada, but enters its third season on CBC, with six episodes set to be shown next winter.

New host Rota, whose father is internationally renowned chef Dante Rota, originally followed in his father’s footsteps before pursuing his longtime passion for acting.

As host of The Great Canadian Food Show, he earned a nomination for the prestigious James Beard Award for excellence in culinary journalism.

Rota replaces Jesse Palmer as the show’s host.

Bombers face season test playing best in the West

The page has officially flipped to the second half of the season, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers find themselves teetering in the CFL’s grey zone, with the scale capable of tipping in either direction.

Sure, the club would be in the playoffs if the regular season ended today, but it’s closer to the bottom of the West Division than it is to the top.

The club’s perpetually optimistic head coach Mike O’Shea said earlier this week that his team is “probably where we need to be.”

Beyond O’Shea, it’s a mixed bag of reviews from coaches and players alike about how they are feeling through nine contests.

OTTAWA - Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston says Prime Minister Mark Carney has asked provinces to restock American alcohol on their shelves as Canada finalizes a trade deal with the U.S. 

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he would put a three-day pause on 50 per cent tariffs that would have hit an array of Canadian goods just after midnight Wednesday.

The two governments are now finalizing the language of the deal.

Carney, who briefed cabinet ministers and premiers about the draft plan Wednesday, said the deal it builds on Canada's existing trade advantages with the U.S.
