More About Season 3

Season 3 of The Great American Recipe celebrates the stories and recipes of eight talented home cooks. With a wide diversity of cooking styles influenced by their varied backgrounds — from Sicilian to Salvadoran, West African to Chinese, Alaskan to Tex-Mex, the contestants in Season 3 represent the delicious diversity of American home cooking.

Hosted by Alejandra Ramos, the series gives home cooks from different regions of the country the opportunity to showcase their beloved signature dishes that tell the story of who they are and where they are from. Returning Judge Tiffany Derry, is joined by Chef Tim Hollingsworth and Food Writer Francis Lam, who bring their professional insights and deep culinary knowledge to encourage and support the contestants throughout their journey.

In Season 3, they come together in Nashville, Tennessee to share their most memorable recipes. Each week the home cooks will compete in two different rounds of cooking. In each round the home cooks create a dish specific to a theme, showcasing their culinary backgrounds, styles, techniques, and unique flavors. At the end of each round, the Judges taste and critique each home cook’s individual dish. After each Judges' tastings, the Judges announce their two favorite dishes. Then after the second round, the Judges announced their two favorite and two least favorite dishes, and one home cook is named the winner of the round. After eight weeks of sharing their most cherished family recipe and heartfelt stories one home cook will be crowned the winner of The Great American Recipe.
