I’ve been sharing on Facebook and on Twitter. Yet in case you missed the news: I am a Real Women of Philadelphia Ambassador!
The Real Women of Philadelphia website launched in 2011 with an 8-week cooking competition to find Canada’s next cooking stars with celebrated chef and best-selling cookbook author Anna Olson as the host. The interest was great as were the recipes.
While there was 4 talented and fabulous winners, the end result was much more. The competition started something huge for Philly cooks, a community.
I couldn’t sum it up better myself, so I’ll quote the site and yell one huge ‘DITTO!’ to this:
This year, our Philly Ambassadors are continuing the tradition our wonderful hosts started: to cultivate an online community that inspires home cooks and aspiring chefs to share their unique recipes, personal stories and cooking expertise with people across Canada.
If you love to cook, and you’re looking for a place to share in that love, enrich your life, as well as make friends with like-minded people, you can find a welcoming home at Real Women of Philadelphia.
I have been busy posting articles and recipes with my fellow Ambassadors and I do spend quite a lot of time on the site. What a supportive, sharing, caring and incredible community!
Perhaps you’d like an addicting fruit dip? Need food ideas for a picnic? Or would just like to know a little more about me.
RWoP is a place to share stories, recipes, ideas and all those cooking tips and tricks. You can learn the simple basics to ideas to create masterpieces when cooking with Philly. Again I have to stress that it’s a wonderful community, sharing ideas for entertaining, holidays or whatever the topic might be that day … the list goes on. It’s easy to join and fun to be apart of. So, if you haven’t already done so, join the RWoP forum.
The RWoP website is divided into easy-to-follow sections:
- Blog: where you’ll find articles from Philly as well as the Philly Ambassadors.
- Philly Recipes: you can even submit your own!
- Contests: and great ones at that!
- Forum: the chatter of a friendly community
- Ambassadors: Check us out!
Right now it’s all about Father’s Day, sharing memories and the recipes that we shared with our families. If you are looking for suggestions for appetizers to dessert, this is the place to find them. There’s always great conversation on every blog post, as well as on the recipes.
Fact is, the brand and people that cook with Philly are overall very social people. You can connect in these ways as well:
- Facebook ~ Philadelphia Cream Cheese Canada
- Twitter ~ @PhillyCanada
- Philly Canada on YouTube ~ Love their videos!
Now as we swing into the gorgeous months of Summer {my favorite season}, I’m excited to discover new ways to cook with Philly. It’s sure to be a delicious Summer 2013 with the Real Women of Philadelphia!
WIN IT: One Canadian reader will get a Kraft gift basket. It includes an assortment of Kraft products and a Real Women of Philadelphia apron and spatula, arv $50
