About the JHGWIR Program: The widely loved Joseph Hoare, former food editor of Toronto Life magazine, was immensely supportive of young writers interested in food and gastronomy, writers such as James Chatto, Lucy Waverman and John Allemang. After Mr. Hoare’s death in 1997, his family chose to honour his lifelong passion for food and food writing by means of an endowment to the innovative Joseph Hoare Gastronomic Writer in Residence program at Stratford Chefs School, the only program of its kind in Canada, now in its 16th year.

Previous JHGWIR candidates include: Andrew Coppolino | James Chatto | Corby Kummer | Michael Symons | Ian Brown | Clotilde Dusoulier | James Oseland | Dianne Jacob | Lucy Waverman | Gabrielle Hamilton | Molly Wizenberg | Andrew George | Jane Sigal | Bob Blumer

Special thanks to Elizabeth Baird for her generous support of the JHGWIR program since its inception.
