Elisa Hendricks competes on CBC program Gibsons resident Elisa Hendricks competes on CBC’s Recipe to Riches, battling against contestants from Newmarket and Markham, ON to produce the top appetizer as the series’ fourth episode airs Wednesday, March 19 at 9 p.m. The winner receives a $50,000 cash prize and the recipe will eventually be offered as a President’s Choice® product. The winner of each round goes forward to compete in the live series finale for the $250,000 grand prize. In a backstage interview, Hendricks noted her family – particularly her father – is her inspiration. The mother of two draws deeply on her Italian heritage and her childhood memories of time spent in the kitchen with her parents. “All those family recipes have a story and that’s what’s so special about them,” she says. “It’s food, sure, but it’s also about your family’s heritage and where we came from.” She grew up learning to cook from her parents. “Now that I’m a mom it became important to me to learn a lot of the recipes and the beautiful things my parents cooked, in particular the recipes my parents brought back from Italy. I really wanted that to be part of my children’s childhood as well.” For Hendricks, winning the CBC’s challenge would be a tribute to her father, who emigrated to Canada from Northern Italy’s Friuli region 50 years ago. Her appetizer, dubbed ‘Italian Lollipops,’ are based on her joke that any Italian lollipop should include meat and cheese. The recipe that got her into the competition puts Friuliano cheese (a tribute to her father) wrapped in mortadella sausage on a stick, and gives it a crispy coating. Competing to impress a panel of three judges (marketing guru Arlene Dickinson, Vancouver chef/entrepreneur Vikram Vij, and food expert Gail Simmons) caused Hendricks to step outside her comfort zone. She says “I wanted to show my kids that sometimes you just have to stick your neck out there, do something different, have an adventure, take some risks and do something that’s kind of fun and crazy.” Results will be posted on The Local Weekly’s website and Facebook page.
