10th Annual Midsummer Herbfest Chef Cook-off Recipes The special feature of this year’s Herbfest was the 3rd ever Chef Cook-off! The event was a great success – thanks to the chefs, the sponsors, the judges, the host Pam Collacott, the sommelier Debbie Trenholm, the Savvy Grapes, the Cook-off organizer Chris Hume , Ottawa Valley Herb Association and the enthusiastic audience. We also enjoyed sampling the extra virgin Greek olive oil provided by Stavros Kalogerakos, Terra Foods.
