What is triple-tested? Our Food Team creates, develops and tests every recipe at least three times (sometimes more!) to make sure it’s delicious and foolproof. We also make sure it’s easy to follow and shop for. Our professional testers weigh all the ingredients for nutritional analysis, verify how long it takes to prep and cook each recipe and check if it can be made ahead. We re-taste and adjust as needed. To confirm results in different kitchens, recipes are also tested at home — by us or by you. Sign up to be a home tester: testing@chatelaine.com

Then what? All you do is chop, stir, cook or bake it up, snap a photo of your culinary prowess, send it to us, and at the end of the month, check back at Chatelaine.com to see if you submitted the prize-winning photo, or have been featured in our Chatelaine Cooking Club gallery!
