TIFF is THE exciting place to be in Toronto in September and the Festival, in conjunction with California Strawberries, is giving CookingNook.com two tickets to a non-gala movie screening to give away to one of our visitors. I am so excited I wish I could enter myself!
What do you have to do? It’s simple – simply send an email telling me why you love strawberries and why you would love to go to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). I will select a winner on Friday September 3, 2010, so you don’t have long. Enter today. Send an email to karen@cookingnook.com.
After you enter our contest why not make this fabulous Strawberry and Brie Bruschetta and serve it at your own movie screening (okay maybe girls movie night in). This recipe is going to be in your favorites box forever once you try it:
Strawberry and Brie Bruschetta
12 slices French bread, cut 2 cm. thick
1/4 (50 ml) cup butter, softened
1/4 (50 mL) cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon (5 mL) ground cinnamon
1 small brie cut into 6 wheels
2 cups (500 mL) of sliced stemmed California strawberries
1/2 cup (25 mL) sliced almonds, toasted
Heat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
Spread 1 side of each bread slice with butter. Arrange, butter side up, on a large baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle approximately 1 teaspoon (5 mL) over each slice of bread. Reserve remaining sugar mixture.
Toast the bread in the oven. Top each piece of toasted bread with 1 wedge of cheese. Return the bread to the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted. Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine the strawberries and the remaining sugar mixture. Toss lightly. Spoon the strawberry mixture over each toasted slice of bread and sprinkle with almonds. Serve immediately.
Makes 2 servings but easily multiplies to serve as many as needed. This is a great any time party recipe.
Don’t forget to send me a quick email. You could easily be the winner of two free screening tickets to the Toronto International Film Festival!*
* Entrants must be 18 years of age or older and be able to get to the festival in Toronto on a day between September 9 to 19th 2010.
