Have you been watching Pat and Vanna for years, longing for your piece of Wheel of Fortune fame? Well, the time has come for 12 lucky foodies who will have their recipes and the stories behind them published in Mr. Food Test Kitchen’s Wheel of Fortune cookbook, receive a signed copy and an exclusive Wheel of Fortune prize package.
This new cookbook will have many collectible family-favorite recipes and backstage photos of the Wheel of Fortune stars and crew. If you’re an avid Wheel watcher, share your amazing recipe and be counted among the stars!
Personally, I’m excited to see the Pat and Vanna-approved recipes in the book, like “Vanna Banana Pudding.” That sounds both delicious and adorable! If you’re submitting your own recipe, you can come up with your own Wheel of Fortune-inspired recipe name. I think something like “I Want to Fry a Vowel” for french fries would be funny. Whatever recipe you decide to submit, be sure it meets the contest guidelines before sending it off.
Here are the guidelines:
- Make sure your recipe follows a quick and easy philosophy, using no more than 12 ingredients that are available at your local market.
- All recipes must be clear, simply written, and manageable for the home cook. You need to be specific with your measurements, directions, and any cookware needed.
- Your recipe must be original. We’d love it if you would add even more flavor to your submission by including a story about the recipe.

My recipe is for Red Velvet Cake. I entered this cake in the 2003 Kansas State Fair and took home a Blue Ribbon (1st Place). Now in 2015 you see Red Velvet everthing but in 2003 it was relativelly new. Of course I was so proud, I made Red Velvet Cake
to take wherever I was invited.

Watching Wheel of Fortune has been an evening ritual for us (now just me as my husband died in January) and I think it is the best enterainmnent for all ages. Love Vana, her great gowns, and Pat, who is PRETTY sharp as well. We started watching in 1983.
I a trying to find the recipes that are mentioned the week of 24th thru28 Aug. 2015. I found a couple recipes that I would like to get but there is no way to print them so what good are they.
