IACP Award Winners 2006

The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) is a not-for-profit professional association founded in 1978. The purpose of the association is the development and exchange of information, knowledge and inspiration within the professional food community. The awards program was created to encourage and promote quality and creativity in cookbook writing and publishing. The annual awards celebrate the year's most outstanding food and beverage publication.

Awards were handed out on Saturday in Seattle at the annual IACP conference. Without further ado here are the winners:

New Books

Well, the two big books are on sale tomorrow Tuesday, April 4th.

Julia Child's My Life in France written with her grand nephew Alex Prudhomme. **Alex will be in the store Tuesday, April 25th at 4 pm to sign books and reminisce about his aunt.

Giada's Family Dinners by Giada De Laurentiis (author of Everyday Italian)

Not new, but finally the TV show started Monday, April 3rd, to accompany Jamie Oliver's new book Jamie's Italy. The six part show, Jamie's Great Italian Escape, airs on Mondays on Food Network at 9 pm eastern time.

Look for the new Julia Child memoir, My Time in France, in early April. This is a must for devotees to Julia and even those with a passing interest. The photos, mostly taken by Paul Child, an accomplished photographer, are both intimate and artistic. Look for a feature review in our next letter.
