Food Network Canada and Temple Street Productions have launched the second season of the Recipe to Riches series. This is an opportunity for all of you home cooks to enter your best recipes. The contest gies you a shot at having your recipe developed into a President's Choice product. You'll also have a chance to ultimately win the grand prize of $250,000.

In each episode of Recipe to Riches, three home cooks compete in one of seven food categories ranging from appetizers and snacks to entrées and desserts. A series of challenges determines whether or not the contenders' delicious recipes can be mass-produced and if they have the marketing potential to fly off grocery store shelves. Each category winner receives $25,000. After all category winners are chosen, it's up to Canadian viewers to vote online for the best-of-the-best and ultimately decide who will truly make the journey from recipe to riches.

Contestants will compete in one of seven culinary categories including:

1. Hors d'oeuvres
2. Cakes, puddings and pies
3. Savoury snacks
4. Entrées
5. Condiments and dips
6. Candies and chocolates
7. Cookies and squares

Interested contestants are encouraged to register for their audition city, date and time at recipetoriches.ca.

Auditions will be held in four cities on the following dates:

Halifax: February 11

Vancouver: February 18

Montreal: February 25

Toronto: March 4
