Meet a new group of home cooks from across the country as they compete to win "The Great American Recipe." This week's challenges include preparing a dish that defines who they are and cooking a recipe that showcases their geographical region

Challenges for the home cooks include a best-in-a-pinch recipe and a noodle dish representing their heritage

The cooks prepare their favourite comfort food and a dish inspired by a loved one; recipes range from bacon-wrapped meatloaf to chicken curry

The cooks prepare grab-and-go meals, from breakfast burritos to musubi; in the second round, the cooks make home-baked treats and part of the first "Great American Recipe" Bake Sale

The cooks take a culinary trip down memory lane as they prepare dishes in honour of special occasions and holiday traditions.

The cooks go out of their comfort zone with a surprise recipe swap challenge; the cooks prepare a dish that has been handed down for generations.
