Every year the International Association of Culinary Professionals gathers to talk (and eat) at their annual conference and award the world’s top gastronomic talents. This year’s conference was in Portland, OR.
Along with the James Beard Foundation Awards (coming in early May), the IACP awards, which have been around for 25 years now, are the top cookbook honors for cookbooks and food-related books published in English.
From more than 500 entries the IACP picked the following winners on April 23rd. We link to their pages on Cookbooker below.
