EYB Road Trip
May 4, 2010 by JaneWe got back home today after two weeks on the road. In two weeks we visited San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Boston and New York. Had some wonderful experiences, climaxing Sunday night with the James Beard Awards in NY. A parade of amazing cookbook authors took the stage – Claudia Roden (Cookbook Hall of Fame for A Book of Middle Eastern Food), Thomas Keller (who won with Ad Hoc at Home in the General Cooking category), Colman Andrews (who won both International and Cookbook of the Year for The Country Cooking of Ireland) plus many more. See the full list of cookbook winners on our James Beard Awards page.
While we were in New York (seeing cookbook publishers) we fitted in two pilgrimages – one to Kitchen Arts & Letters, the Mecca of cookbooks. I managed to have great self-restraint and ‘only’ bought six new cookbooks. The other was to The French Culinary Institute – their fabulous library of 4,000 cookbooks is the largest bookshelf on EYB (and they aren’t all added yet).
