The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards were founded in 1995 by Edouard Cointreau. Every year, they honour the best food and wine culture books, printed or digital, as well as food television. The competition is open to all languages. Every year, Gourmand organizes a world symposium in a very special location for gastronomy. The Awards Ceremony is always an opportunity to meet every important person in the sector: hundreds of publishers, authors, chefs and journalists take part in these events. For this second Umeå Food Symposium, roughly 400 international leaders from over 50 countries to Umeå attended. Nordic and Swedish professionals were also be part of the welcomed guests.
Well deserved! This fine book suits both the layman and the connoisseur and will grace any wine library. Highly recommended.
