From the Washington Post:

Chef José Andrés, PBS star Vivian Howard honored by culinary professionals
By Becky Krystal March 5 at 10:00 PM

Chef-restaurateur José Andrés, received the National Humanities Medal from President Obama last year, and received a lifetime achievement award this weekend from the International Association of Culinary Professionals.

The International Association of Culinary Professionals announced the winners of its annual awards Sunday night in Louisville.

Chef-restaurateur José Andrés received the organization’s lifetime achievement award. The native of Spain is behind such Washington restaurants as Jaleo, Oyamel and Minibar and is the author of several cookbooks. He has been outspoken of late on matters of immigration and has been making headlines for his ongoing legal feud with President Trump over an aborted restaurant at the Trump International Hotel in Washington.

Washington author Joan Nathan’s 1994 book, “Jewish Cooking in America” was named a culinary classic. The category recognizes “works that have significantly altered the way we think about food and contributed to the field of culinary literature.” Other books recognized were “Authentic Mexican,” by Rick Bayless (1987); “The Cake Bible,” by Rose Levy Beranbaum (1998); “How America Eats,” by Clementine Paddleford (1960); and “Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine,” by Norma Jean Darden and Carole Darden (1978).

[Rick Bayless grew up watching Julia Child. Now he’s getting her award.]

Two Post writers were nominated for food writing awards: beer columnist Fritz Hahn for beverage-focused column and Smoke Signals columnist Jim Shahin for food-focused column. The awards in those categories went to New York Times writers Eric Asimov and new “Splendid Table” host Francis Lam, who until recently wrote a column for the New York Times Magazine. The Times was also named publication of the year.

In digital media, IACP named Epicurious the year’s best culinary group blog. Lucky Peach took home the prize for best culinary website.

"Deep Run Roots" by Vivian Howard was a big winner at IACP’s annual awards. (Little, Brown)
North Carolina chef-restaurateur Vivian Howard, who stars in the PBS series “A Chef’s Life,” swept four categories with her debut cookbook, “Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South.” It was named cookbook of the year and won the chef/restaurant, general and Julia Child first book categories.

The IACP, founded in 1978, includes members from a variety of disciplines in the food industry, including chefs, restaurateurs, writers and producers. In addition to its annual conference and awards, the organization offers professional support in the form of networking, a speaker series, and other resources.
A full list of winners is available at iacp.com.

Wino,

Huh, some new cookbooks to check out of the Library, I think. I'd never heard of "Spoonbread & Wine" before.
