Recipe to Riches is a Canadian television reality show, in which home cooks from around the country competed to have their recipe become a President's Choice product.[1] Competitors bring their home cooked meal to one of the cross-Canada open casting calls where a panel of judges critique their food based on taste, mass appeal, and marketing potential.[1] The series concept was developed by Allan Novak together with Theresa-Kowall-Shipp.
In its first two seasons, the show aired on Food Network Canada and Global.[2] It was then picked up by CBC Television for its third season in 2013.[2]
The show's host in its first two seasons was former Bachelor Jesse Palmer. Actor Carlo Rota has been announced as the third season host.[2] Judges have included marketing guru Tony Chapman, product development expert Dana McCauley and cookbook author Laura Calder.
