Local culinary talent and ‘passionate home chef’, Cindy Ference, has officially advanced to the Quarter-finals of the national Favourite Chef competition, a prestigious event hosted by celebrity chef Carla Hall. Representing British Columbia with flair, Cindy has been capturing hearts and taste buds nationwide with her homegrown cooking and baking skills.
The competition, which relies on public support through online voting, is heating up as Cindy strives to secure first place in her group by Thursday, May 22—a critical milestone to advance to the next stage of the contest.
“Being part of this competition allows me to bring my home cooking and baking skills to another level and share the great tastes of my kitchen with others to enjoy,” says Cindy. “If I win, I’ll use the prize to support a food learning program for our local shelter. I’d also love to finally get some cooking appliances I’ve had my eye on for years—this would help.”
Cindy’s culinary creations reflect both passion and purpose. Her online community, Cindy’s Garden of Eatin’, has grown steadily as she shares her homemade dishes, baking experiments, and kitchen stories. Friends, family, and food lovers near and far have rallied behind her, voting daily to help push her to the top of the leaderboard.
The Favourite Chef competition offers national recognition, the opportunity to be featured in a national food magazine, and a significant cash prize. With Cindy’s deep-rooted commitment to community, she hopes her journey inspires others and shines a spotlight on the importance of food education and support for those in need.
Daily voting is open now, with one vote allowed per person daily, and supporters can cast their vote directly through her Facebook page.
Every vote counts as she aims to represent Coquitlam and all of B.C. on the national stage. “This has already been such an incredible experience,” Cindy says. “I’m so grateful for the support and excited to see where this adventure takes me.”
