Over 26,000 cookbooks and wine primers are published each year internationally. The books first compete in their own language and category then the winners compete against each other to be pronounced the Best Book of the Year.
Founded in 1995 by Edouard Cointreau, the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards reward the best wine and cookbooks each year. Their goal is to honor those \u201cwho cook with words,\u201d and build respect and knowledge of the different culinary traditions as well as help readers and cuisine aficionados to find the best books on the subject. <\/P>
\n
\u201cOne day I realized that recipes are as essential an ingredient of a nation\u00b4s culture as literature or music,\u201d said Castellanos. \u201cI realized in time how much of a treasure they are to be preserved, because they constitute the basis on which new culinary traditions can be built, traditions that will be increasingly healthy without losing their cultural authenticity.\u201d<\/P>
