Apex sixth-grader Sydney McCoy (pictured at right) is a finalist in a recipe contest that could land her a chance to cook with celebrity chef Cat Cora. But she needs your vote.

McCoy, who attends Salem Middle School, is one of 10 children whose video was chosen as a finalist in theLoukoumi’s Celebrity Cookbook recipe contest. You can see the finalists’ videos and vote for Sydney on this Facebook page.

Voting ends at noon Thursday.

This budding gourmet chef even has her own website: https://sydneymccoy.com/

The winner will fly to Orlando to cook with Cora during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival next month. The winner will be chosen based on the public’s voting and the votes of a celebrity judging panel, including Cora and others.

“Loukoumi” is the name of an award-winning series of children’s books. The cookbook features childhood recipes from more than 50 celebrities from Opray Winfrey to Katie Couric. Author Nick Katsoris is a practicing attorney who lives in New York state.
