IACP Cookbook Awards

The Cookbook Awards have been formally presented by IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) since 1986, when the Tastemaker Awards dissolved its program after 19 years. Under the guidance of cookbook author Bert Greene and the IACP Board of Directors, IACP assumed custody of the awards program that year and has since carried the torch, applauding excellence and setting standards in cookbook publishing now for more than 20 years.
