So happy to share the news that KEEPERS won a big culinary award this weekend…
We were chosen as Best General Cookbook by members of the IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals), which I compare to winning a SAG award because you’re chosen by your writer and editor peers. Our fellow nominees were cookbooks from two grande dames of the food world, which makes this even more gob-smacking: Alice Waters and Mollie Katzen. It’s kind of like going up against Meryl Streep, twice. The first cookbook I ever bought was The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, by Katzen, and my first forays into cooking in my early-twenties were with her recipes as my guide. And I own several of Water’s books (THIS one is actually my favorite) and I’m waiting for the day when I can finally visit the famed Chez Panisse.
HERE is a list of all this year’s winners. Congratulations to everyone!
