Episode One, Two, & Three
In the first three episodes we visit our cooks in their homes, learn about their upbringing, and what food means to them. The cooks share their favorite and most treasured recipes and discuss how the recipes have changed over time and adapted to Minnesota’s unique climate and resources.
Episode Four
In the final episode, our cooks come together for a competition where they’ll be put to the test, and where we’ll name the next winner of The Great Minnesota Recipe.
This season the cooks will start the competition by presenting the judges with a dish that perfectly expresses their family background and showcases their culinary skills.
Then, the cooks will go head-to-head to create their own unique take on a family-style dinner’s main course. They’ll be put to the test to create a brand-new recipe in hopes of being named the next winner of The Great Minnesota Recipe.
