Cooking Know-How Best Cookbook awards


Earlier this year we hosted cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough as they introduced their new cookbook, Cooking Know-How. It was a sell out crowd. We are thrilled to announce that Cooking Know-How was selected by the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards at the Paris Cookbook Fair as the best cookbook from the United States in 2009 for "easy recipes.". Yesterday, Weinstein and Scarbrough got the news that the book has now been shortlisted with three others for "the best in the world.
