Family Heirloom Recipes at the Missouri State Fair
Since 2011, Greater Midwest Foodways has sponsored a Family Heirloom Recipe contest at the Missouri State Fair.
Our Family Heirloom Recipe competition seeks your best made from scratch heirloom recipe suitable for a family or community dinner or a family favorite nobody has written down yet. To encourage delving deep into your family’s culinary history, please submit family recipes at least 50 years old. We look forward to learning about and tasting your treasured foods.
