San Antonio home cook to appear on PBS show The Great American Recipe

San Antonio resident Jon Hinojosa, a founding director of the San Antonio nonprofit Say Sí, will appear on the latest season of PBS cooking competition show The Great American Recipe.

The Great American Recipe highlights the multiculturalism that makes cuisines unique across the United States, according to the PBS website. Each season allows eight home cooks from different regions to highlight signature recipes in front of a panel of celebrity chefs.

The season’s winner will have a recipe featured on the cover of the companion book The Great American Recipe Cookbook.
