submit a short video pitch that embodied a unique and delicious recipe that they created. Successful applicants would appear on the <i>Recipe to Riches<\/i> TV show, have a chance to win <\/span><span class=\"s2\">$250,000 and have their recipe manufactured and sold via President\u2019s Choice (a national grocery chain in Canada).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">In my initial research, I learned that mincemeat (in its modern form) is a dessert food typically served during the Christmas season in tarts and pies. Traditionally containing fruit, nuts, spices and beef suet or butter, mincemeat was not a vegan-friendly food. I also learned that\u2014like its seasonal comrade fruit cake\u2014mincemeat was divisive: some loved it, others hated it. Packaging design for mincemeat I saw on the grocery store shelves was pretty uninspiring: it was obvious that companies were catering to consumers who already knew about it and loved it. A key finding in my research was that there was no existing vegan mincemeat on the market in Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">Central questions I asked myself at this stage were: <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">How can we pitch an under-appreciated and traditional food to an audience who might not have even considered eating it?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">How can we break mincemeat out of its \u2018Christmas only\u2019 reputation?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">How can we make this pitch stand out from thousands of other pitches?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-margin-top:30px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" title=\"1200&#215;800-mincemeat-research-board\" src=\"https:\/\/morganmallett.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1200x800-mincemeat-research-board.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/morganmallett.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1200x800-mincemeat-research-board.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-3229\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%27800%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201200%20800%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%27800%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/morganmallett.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1200x800-mincemeat-research-board-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/morganmallett.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1200x800-mincemeat-research-board-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/morganmallett.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1200x800-mincemeat-research-board-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/morganmallett.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1200x800-mincemeat-research-board-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/morganmallett.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1200x800-mincemeat-research-board.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7 fusion-text-no-margin\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:12px;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;\"><p><em>Above: Examples of existing mincemeat packaging and typical uses of mincemeat in baking<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Phase 2: research + define<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As I delved deeper and researched previous seasons of <i>Recipes to Riches<\/i> and its applicant pitch videos (as well as other food-related unscripted TV shows), I noticed that the vast majority\u2014if not all\u2014applicant videos showed a person making a recipe, and talking through their process.

Nothing was safe from vegan mincemeat: tarts, ice cream, yoghurt&#8230;and more.
