Everyone – we are now formally in the throes of the cookbook award season and I’m proud to share with you that Asian Dumplings is among the finalists for an International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) award. HURRAY!
These awards are among the most prestigious in the cookbook writing profession and publishing industry. Over 500 books were submitted for the competition last fall. The judging committee evaluated and then nominated my book for an award in the single subject category, which covers publications that “focus on specific foods, cooking methods, techniques or appliances.” IACP judges, food professionals with stellar credentials, test drove recipes from Asian Dumplings just like many of you did. Boy, am I darn glad to have passed your and their tests!
My first book, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen, garnered two IACP nominations in 2007 in the best first book and international book categories. I was as thrilled then as I am now. Validation from my peers is extremely satisfying as I know that I am making a contribution and difference.Winners will be announced on April 22 at the Awards Gala during the IACP conference in Portland, Oregon. Who know what the outcome will be, but I’m DEElighted to be in the final running. Thanks for your support!
Full list of award nominees:
At the time of this posting, the cookbook award finalists can be found at the IACP Amazon.com bookstore. It's odd but welcome to the modern era.
IACP will be posting its full list of finalists and award categories online very very soon. Check here later today or tomorrow: http://IACP.com.
[Update 3/4/10: The official 2010 IACP cookbook award finalists was posted late yesterday afternoon. You'll see that Asian Dumplings is near the bottom of the listing. The other finalists in that category are terrific publications. I particularly love Francis Mallman's Seven Fires about Argentinian outdoor cooking.]
Woohoo! Congratulations!

Hi Andrea
Did you know that there is a public voting section for a "People's Choice Award"? I just voted for your book. Here's a link:

How about a new post, to let others know they can vote.
Cheers RobynNZ

Many people bike to work all year round! Not to say that it is easy - it takes a lot of commitment but it is absolutely possible. Check out "-40C" a short film by Paul Davis that documents his commute it's a fun example of someone pedalling in the extreme.

A number of economists, in search of big problems to solve, and politicians, looking for bold promises to make, think that it ought to be doing something else: making people happy.

It Takes a Long Time to Build a Good Reputation and Only a Short While to Ruin It. Trust and credibility is built slowly but can be lost almost instantly.
