winners of the annual Jul-in Child
Cookbook Awards held in
Philadelphia, the presentations
were an announcement — both
to their peers and to the public—
of excellence in the world of culi-

This premier cookbook awards
program, sponsored by the Inter-
national Association of Culinary
Professionals, encourages and
promotes the highest quality and
creativity in both writing and pub-
W

judged by an independent group
of 30 respected food and beverage
writers. Eligible books include any
cookbook published in the Eng-
lish language during 1995. This
year, an all-time record was set
with 447 books entered by pub-
lishers in the United States,
Canada, England and Australia.
The 11 categories, which
ranged from American cooking to
Beer and Spirits, emphasize the
versatility, expertise and
painstaking research on the part
of the authors and the ever-in-
