With more than 100,000 followers on Instagram, it’s been a whirlwind of a journey since Katie Stymiest started her baking business Caked by Katie, and her latest exploit is appearing as a contestant on the brand-new Netflix show Cook At All Costs. Stymiest is no stranger to television appearances either, as she was one of three Northern B.C. based bakers who appeared on the Food Network’s Big Holiday Bake in November 2021 as part of the Reindeer Games Challenge. But now the former Fort St. John resident is stepping out of her comfort zone with a new challenge as a home cook competing against three other cooks in the competition cooking show hosted by chef and restaurateur Jordan Andino. “I randomly got an email one day, and I thought it was like a scam and deleted it but it was a producer from the show, and they asked if I would be interested in competing on a cooking show,” said Stymiest about how this opportunity came to be. She eventually thought to see if it was real and replied to the email having researched the production company online. “I was like, oh, this is actually real. Then it was really exciting and kind of nerve wracking and I thought let’s check it out.” Stymiest said she is more confident in her baking skills but was also really excited because it would be a good opportunity to show that she can cook and does enjoy cooking. “I have no training or experience in a professional setting whatsoever with cooking. It is just me in the kitchen with my family.” The premise of the show is to find out if a home cook can make an amazing meal regardless of the ingredients, whether or not those ingredients are really cheap or super expensive. Three contestants all compete under pressure to cook the best meal after bidding on one of three boxes. Continued on A10
