The Great American Recipe | July 2025

Eight of the nation's top home cooks gather in the barn to share their most treasured recipes, introducing themselves to the judges with a dish that reflects their perfect meal, followed by a regional dish that represents the place they call home.
The eight home cooks are back for week two. In the first round, they'll prepare a dish that shows support for someone in need. In the second round, it's holiday time, and the cooks will create their favorite holiday recipes for the judges.
Things heat up in week three! First, the home cooks showcase freshly made bread, followed by a dozen of their tastiest fruity treats for the annual Great American Recipe bake sale. Who will rise to the challenge?
