Plot summary
The Van Rookle Farms contest draws fifty amateur cooks from around the country, with a million dollars for the winner. Among the entrants are the Solfest sisters from Minnesota, Sharon and Pauline. Sharon brings a multiple chocolate dessert, while Pauline, a nursing home employee and nutritionist, cooks something easy for seniors to digest. Sharon is engaged to Lars Hagerbakke, and the couple have promised chastity until the wedding, while Pauline's workload leaves her no time for a relationship. The other contestants include Ladybug Briggs, the contest's first African American participant; Cassandra Dougherty, pushed to compete by her domineering mother Victoria; Patty Pasternak, a pregnant mother of many from Arizona; and Daneel Kuhar, a past contestant who has her boyfriend Del Crawford enter.
