Grand Prize Winner
Janet Fraser has spent the better part of her life, 53 years exact, living in Musquodoboit Harbour. She, an X-ray technician, and her husband, a physician, moved to the area when he set up practice. Janet is the mother of three children—two sons and a daughter—and the proud grandmother of seven grandchildren.
When Janet was a little girl her family relied on store-bought bread; however when she stayed with her cousin at their summer cottage in Seabright, NS, one of the best parts of the visit was a delicious brown bread made by their very sweet home cook named Alice.
Janet recalls that sometimes in the evening her cousins and their parents would sit around a campfire and play a game called “I packed my trunk for Boston.” Each person would name an item that they wished to put in the trunk and then when the next person had their turn, they had to repeat the items in the right order and then add what they would put in the trunk.
Every time Janet played the game, she always said “I put a loaf of Alice’s homemade brown bread in the trunk.” Alice would smile and look at her sweetly. Janet was determined that someday she would learn to make bread like that and when she was 40, she perfected this recipe.
The recipe was originally from the Blomidon Inn in Wolfville and was called Anadama Bread. That bread was made with cornmeal and flour, and Janet decided to make her own version using oatmeal. She tried for many years to perfect her recipe and ended up throwing away many loaves; however, she loves homemade bread and persevered and finally came up with this winning recipe.

Suzanne Dauphinee
Halifax, NS
Suzanne says that mac and cheese is a favourite in the Dauphinee home, and when she found herself with some leftovers, unsure of what to do with them, she decided to play around and create an appetizer recipe. She says quite often when people are asked to bring something to a social event, it is an appetizer, and people are often unsure about what to bring. She came up with a mac and cheese slider and then decided that it needed a little something extra. Once she found the bacon beer tomato jam recipe and combined it all together, she knew she had a winner!
Suzanne’s inspiration for cooking came early. When she was 13 she started watching Wok with Yan on television; not long after, she received a wok along with a Wok With Yan cookbook, which she still has, for her birthday.
