Food competitions in the Home Economics Building at the Missouri State Fair got off to a “grape” start Thursday morning with a wine cooking competition.
The Missouri Wine and Grape Board’s Cooking with Missouri Wine contest brought in a wide variety of entries. I found enchiladas, lasagna, waffles, chocolate cake, pancakes, sorbet and beef stew.
