Oct. 6, 2009 – Thanks for your feedback about my last blog post, "Iron Pastry Chef." I heard from several readers who were highly enthusiastic about the need for Canada's baking industry to take advantage of the popularity of competitive cooking shows and events as a way to showcase the brilliant work being done by our talented professionals and students.
