FAMILY HEIRLOOM RECIPES
2015 Theme: Family Favorites Never Served to Guests
(or whatever you like)
Missouri State Fair
August 15, 2015
Our Family Heirloom Recipe competition seeks your best made from scratch recipe of a family favorite never served to guests. Maybe it is a favorite reuse of leftovers, something cobbled together because Mom’s doing laundry. Can’t think of anything, well bring whatever you want. Recipe should originate before 1950.
Contestants brought a prepared dish along with a brief story of who passed the recipe down to them, ethnicity, if relevant, number of years the recipe has been in their family and any interesting information about their recipe.
