The Washington Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the Homegrown and Handed Down Bicentennial Cookbook, a special keepsake created in celebration of 200 years of Washington recipes. This cookbook will feature recipes submitted by local residents, families, and community members—because your recipes are the key ingredient to telling Washington’s story.
From cherished family classics to hometown favorites and holiday traditions, this is your chance to share the dishes that have shaped your gatherings, generations, and memories. Whether it’s Grandma’s famous pie, a tailgate go-to, or a recipe with a meaningful backstory, we invite you to contribute to this unique culinary tribute to our community.
Recipe submissions are open now through October 1, 2025. Submit your recipe online at:www.washingtonilcoc.com/bicentennialcookbook
The Bicentennial Cookbook will be available for pre-order starting August 1, 2025, for $25.00—a perfect gift or commemorative keepsake for anyone who loves food, history, or Washington. Cookbooks will arrive before Christmas.
