A young Aboriginal Yellowknifer's recipe won big this year.

10-year-old Yellowknifer's pizza wins spot in national cookbook

Drew Sinclair was one of 26 winners of the Kid Food Nation recipe
contest, by creating a recipe for smoked meat bannock pizza.

"I was really excited. I like pizza and I like bannock and I
combined them all together and I got this wonderful pizza," he said.

The contest, in which there were 300 entries, is a national
competition to encourage kids between the ages of seven to 12 to
cook. The selected winners get their recipes published in the Kid
Food Nation cookbook, a prize pack and an online cooking lesson with
chef Marysol Foucault from Gatineau, Que., on Oct. 30.

Sinclair started cooking when he was six years old. Once a week, he
would help his parents cook a meal from scratch. "I like to cook
hamburgers, hamburger soup and poutine, and bases loaded sheet pan
dinner. It's from the first cookbook that my mom and dad gave me.
That's the first thing I cooked four years ago," he said.

Future entrepreneur The young cook said he wants to keep cooking and
is even thinking of starting a small business. "I like baking cakes
and muffins, cookies and things like that from my book that I got
from my grandma. I might make a business of a bakery and cakes and
things like that," Drew said.

Drew's classmates at Mildred Hall School will also benefit from his
win: the school will receive a grant for a food growing system worth
up to $5,000.
