Since 2009, Greater Midwest Foodways has sponsored and judged Family Heirloom Recipes contests in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Cathy has compiled many of the winning recipes from 1950 or earlier, along with their histories, in what many are already considering a landmark book.

“If nothing else, should this book inspire you to document a family favorite recipe to share with loved ones, then we have accomplished our mission,” Cathy says.

Catherine Lambrecht, vice president of the Culinary Historians of Chicago, is the very definition of over-the-top busy. Cathy runs our sister organization, Chicago Foodways Roundtable, and also heads the Greater Midwest Foodways Alliance on the Food and Culture of the American Midwest.
