new & old books about wine, food & the culinary arts bought & sold
Often colloquially described as ‘the Oscars of the food world’, the James Beard Awards are now in their 25th year.
Open to chefs and restaurateurs, cookbook authors and food journalists, restaurant designers and architects, (and more), the James Beard Awards are considered one of the highest honours for food and beverage professionals in the USA.
There are myriad categories for various culinary media as well as the highly prestigious chef awards.
Every year we focus on just the book awards (which are sometimes quite parochial – or only refer to US editions of books previously published elsewhere) for books published in English in 2014. The winners will be announced on April 24, 2015. We’ve marked our tips with a *
