In 2006, each of the six Key Ingredients Michigan Foodways host sites held their own recipe and story contest. They submitted their winning entries to the Michigan Humanities Council for Michigan citizens to vote as their favorite.

This is more than a simple recipe popularity contest. Instead, each recipe has its own story. For example, it's not just "my grandma's cherry pie recipe;" it's "my grandma's cherry pie recipe she used to win the 'Jiffy Mix Bakeoff' in 1952." Each entry is unique, with an amazing story, one of which will be the "Official Recipe of Michigan Foodways."

The requirements were: (1) the recipe must contain at least one Michigan food or product; and, (2) the recipe must be accompanied by a story or history related to the dish. Each host community was responsible for determining the mechanism to pick their emblematic recipe and story.

Try out each recipe in your kitchen share your thoughts on the official KIMF message board. Also, share this with your friends, families, colleagues, and neighbors to vote for the best recipe and story in Michigan!
