The James Beard Foundation celebrates, preserves, and nurtures America's culinary heritage and diversity. The organization is best known to the public for awarding the annual Beard Awards for cookbooks. They award in many categories, from general cooking to techniques, vegetarian, international, etc, but all of the books that receive these prestigious awards are considered by culinary professionals to be the best of the bunch.
The large cookbook collection at the New Canaan Library contains many of the Beard award winners. Here are some of the recent award winners in various categories that we have in our collection:
Tasty by Roy Finamore (Award for General cooking, 2007)
Soul of a New Cuisine by Marcus Samuelsson: ( Award for International, 2007)
