Beard and IACP nominees announced

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Mar 20th 2007 @ 9:03AM

An email I received from Jessica's Biscuit pointed out that the nominees for the International Association of Culinary Professions Awards (IACP) and the James Beard Foundation Awards were both announced yesterday. For those unfamiliar, both awards are akin to receiving an Oscar within the food community. Both recognize outstanding cookbooks, journalism and professionals in the food world, and while there is some overlap, the list of nominees for Beard Foundation Awards is far lengthier. Beard nominees for best food-related website include Leite's Culinaria, Epicurious and Dr. Vino's Wine Blog. There are also categories for webcasts, weekly newspaper sections, magazines, and a diverse array of awards chefs and cookbooks. The IACP is presenting a Lifetime Achievement Award to Knopf VP and editor Judith Jones (who helped launch Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking) and a Humanitarian Award to Frontera Grill's Rick Bayless. Go check out both sites and see if any of your favorites have made the lists of nominees.

I also added links to restaurant webpages when I could do so in less than a couple seconds. I ended up 43 links. I embeded the map in a blog post here:

I started linking to Amazon for the books and to webpages for the articles but I ran out of gas after doing the books and only four of the articles. Those are in a separate post.

This map is the continuation of a series. I did last year's Beard Awards (but even fewer categories) and this year's Gayot Top 40, Gourmet's Top 50 and Food and Wine's best N young chefs. From my blog you can click through to Tagzania which is the website that facilitates the mapping. You can browse through my tags to find these other lists.
