Submit a Recipe

Share your recipes with our readers.

Are you a chef, farmer, bartender, specialty goods maker, or home cook? We want your take on local food! From making locally-grown beans even more delicious to using locally roasted coffee in your creme brulee, we want to give it a try. Here’s the skinny on submitting a recipe: 

  1. Our test kitchen team works closely with local food businesses and has a busy schedule. Because of this, we can only accept a limited number of recipes that require photography. If you already have a great photo of your dish, please include it with your submission!
  2. We give priority to recipes that feature plenty of local ingredients. For inspiration on what’s grown and made in the Midwest, check out our Local Ingredient Guide.
  3. If your recipe is selected for the blog, we’ll notify you. Please note that we post recipes based on seasonal availability. For example, if you submit a recipe using fresh cherries, it will be considered for publication in July.

Note: Taste the Local Difference reserves the right to edit recipes for clarity or home kitchen use. Please reach out to us with any questions!
