Congratulations to the 2022 Winners of the IACP Awards!
Winners of the 2022 International Association of Culinary Professionals Awards were announced on Friday November 18, 2022.
On Friday November 18, 2022, the International Association of Culinary Professionals announced the winners of the prestigious IACP awards from the Middleby Showroom in Dallas and New York. The announcement was made via video and can be viewed online on Vimeo.
The Executive Awards Committee and Subcommittees led by IACP’s Awards Director, Paola Briseño-González, updated policies and procedures this year to continue to enhance the rigor of the awards program and maintain its position as one of the most prestigious in the industry. These changes included refining review processes and stringent ethical rules. The organization also continued efforts to make the awards more accessible by offering a free entry period for digital categories, food writing, food photography and styling, as well as reduced entry fees in the cookbook awards program.
The IACP Cookbook Awards continued its partnership with The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts to provide free entries into the IACP Julia Child First Book Award and award $5,000 to the author of a first cookbook. Our hope is that these efforts make the awards more accessible, and increase the diversity of the pool of candidates.

2022 IACP COOKBOOK AWARDS
The IACP Cookbook Awards honor the authors, publishers, and other contributors behind the best cookbooks published each year. Our program requires multi-step, rigorous recipe testing in all relevant awards categories. Awards are given in 15 categories, and one cookbook will be selected by our judges as the IACP Book of the Year.
The cookbook awards program was chaired by last year’s IACP committee member, Atlanta-based fermentation and food historian, Julia Skinner. The chair, along with a dedicated team of super judges, make up the cookbook awards committee. The committee oversees the review process across fifteen categories. This season’s super judges were:
Andrea Nguyen, the author of six acclaimed cookbooks and a leading voice in Asian American food and publishing. Dianne Jacob, a multiple award-winning author, editor and writing coach. Irvin Lin, a cookbook author and award-winning photographer and recipe developer. Martin Earl, Culinary Editor for ThermoWorks, and Shaun Chavis, a food and health journalist in Atlanta, Georgia.
To purchase cookbooks, please consider one of the following independent booksellers: Now Serving, Omnivore Books, Kitchen Arts and Letters, Powell’s, or your local cookbook store.
