James Beard Book Award nominations announced

The nominations for the prestigious James Beard Cookbook Awards were announced today.  They can be viewed on our JB Awards nominations page.  We will be attending the awards in New York on May 2nd which is going to be  exciting. 

We have also created a page listing all the IACP Award nominations which includes the Eat Your Books Award.

Changes to Recipe types

We are doing a major overhaul of the Recipe types as we have found over time that we have needed to add and refine categories.  There will be a interim period while we re-categorize the thousands of recipes already entered for each altered category so please bear with us if you cannot find everything you expect in a category.  The big one we are working on is separating pastas into Pasta, doughs & sauces; Pasta, baked; and Pasta, filled.  We are also splitting Bread & rolls into savory and sweet.  So many conundrums come up - are flatbreads with a topping a pizza? (We decided yes).  Are popovers a roll? (Again a yes).  What recipe type is French toast? (We decided none).  If you come across any categorizations you disagree with, please let us know.

EYB sponsoring IACP Award

The IACP Award nominations have been announced - it's a great selection of cookbooks and you can view them at the IACP website.  We are very excited that we are the sponsor in the General category - named The Eat Your Books Award - and we will be at the IACP Conference in April to present the award.  The nominated authors in the EYB category are Stephanie Alexander, Mollie Katzen and Maria Helm Sinskey - we will be honored to present the award to any one of these wonderful writers.
