DESCRIPTION The Great Minnesota Recipe Season 2 is a four-part series that explores the unique family and culinary backgrounds of three cooks from across the state. Learn about their culinary experiences, family backgrounds, and connection to their recipes. With this season we see cuisine with Malaysian influences, a chef who uses his skills to revitalize native food cultivation, and a stay-at-home mom who loves to elevate comfort food for her family of four. We will also see these chefs go head-to-head to create their unique version of the “typical Minnesota meal,” the hot dish. IMPACT Minnesotans wanted to hear the stories of three more cooks from the state of Minnesota, so with The Great Minnesota Recipe Season 2, we encouraged community members to share their diverse culinary backgrounds while coming together to realize a shared appreciation of Minnesota culture and the underlying similarities that bring us all together. We aimed to see an increase in community conversation around the culture of food, including interaction and discussion on social media. On Instagram we had six posts with 620 views and 65 engagements.
