Dough Named 2006 Cookbook of the Year
Richard Bertinet's Dough: Simple Contemporary Bread (Kyle Cathie Ltd.) has won the 2006 Cookbook of the Year at the annual IACP Cookbook Awards. JournalNow.com explains how Dough won over the judges.
The nominees for the awards ceremony, held during the association's annual conference, featured such well-known names as Martha Stewart; Joan Nathan, an expert on Jewish cooking; and Suzanne Goin, the highly praised chef of Lucques restaurant in Los Angeles.A complete list of all the 2006 Cookbook Award winners can be found here on the IACP website.
But it was Dough: Simple Contemporary Bread, written by newcomer Richard Bertinet and published by the small Kyle Cathie Ltd., that won the 2006 Cookbook of the Year.
Dough also won the Julia Child Award for an author's first book.
Professional baker Bertinet's book shows how five basic dough recipes can be used to make many kinds of bread. It apparently won over judges with its emphasis on a basic approach to make breadmaking doable for today's time-pressed cooks.
