James Beard Award Winners Announced

If you haven't heard, the winners of this year's James Beard Award were announced yesterday.

Canadian Trish Magwood, owner of Toronto cafe, cooking school and catering company, Dish Cooking Studio, and host of Party Dish, won for the Entertaining Category with her seriously-inspiring cookbook, Dish Entertains. This book has some of the most delicious recipes and gorgeous photographs I've seen in a Canadian cookbook, or, for that matter, any cookbook. Her roasted chicken recipe is the only one I use now.



I love this cookbook, although, to be honest I don't own it yet--despite frequent check-outs from my local library--and it's a huge deal that she won.

It's always great when Canadian chefs receive international recognition.
