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. Posts with tag iacp

The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) recently announced
the finalists for their yearly cookbook awards. Awards will be given for roughly a dozen categories including food
reference and technical writing, health, photography and styling, chefs and restaurants and literary food writing.
Winners will be announced at the IACP's annual conference, which begins March 30 in Seattle. I was glad to see that
Hungry Planet, of of my favorite food books of the last year, made the list. A full list of finalists is available here.
