List of IACP Cookbook Awards

Below is the full list of IACP nominees and winners from the past decade.

If you are not familiar, the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) Cookbook Awards are among the most respected honors in the food world, recognizing the year's best cookbooks across a wide range of categories. Founded by an organization dedicated to advancing culinary knowledge and excellence, the awards celebrate outstanding achievements in recipe development, culinary instruction, writing, design, and food storytelling.

The IACP Cookbook Awards are frequently mentioned alongside the James Beard Foundation Book Awards. While both honor excellence in food publishing, they have slightly different emphases. The IACP awards are particularly known for evaluating whether a cookbook actually works in the kitchen. The James Beard Foundation awards take a broader view of the cookbook and looks at both the quality of its writing, but also the cultural significance and impacts it has on society writ large. As a result, the James Beard Awards are often viewed as the food world's equivalent of the Oscars, while the IACP Awards are especially prized within cookbook and culinary professional circles for their emphasis on excellence in the craft of cookbook publishing.

These can be purchased anywhere, but if you wish to support Books to Bowls or you just want to see all the covers out you can check out my shop at https://bookshop.org/shop/bookstobowls
