DES MOINES, IA (09/14/2010)(readMedia)-- Norita Solt of Bettendorf won first place in the We've Got a Secret (Ingredient) competition August 15, at the 2010 Iowa State Fair.

Competitors were put on the spot to incorporate a "secret ingredient" in an entrée of their choice. Entrees were prepared on site at the competition. Dishes were judged on best use of the ingredient.

Solt won $100 and a cookbook for her creation.

The Iowa State Fair Food Department is the largest of any state fair in the country.

"Non Stop Fun" at the Iowa State Fair ended August 22. The 2011 Iowa State Fair - "Nothing Compares" - is set August 11-21. For more information, call 800/545-FAIR or visit iowastatefair.org.
