CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
Executive Chef Richard Farina indulges his inner party animal by freezing balloons in liquid nitrogen. This makes them shrink, only to reinflate when they warm up to room temperature. Pastry chef Claire Crenshaw makes ice cream using liquid nitrogen. A custom-designed wall of spices gives the moto kitchen a cool lab-look. The group tastes glazed frozen organic biodegradable nitrogen-frozen packing material. Um, why, exactly? Because they can! ALL PHOTOS: ROBIN E. H. OVE
TOUR CHICAGO Members have the chance to sample the food culture of the host city through a day of tours organized by local member-volunteers. Those who chose this tour of Homaro Cantu and Richard Farina’s experimental restaurant moto got a distinctive taste of Chicago indeed. Sorry, no hot dogs here.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
Anne Willan, IACP Past President and Lifetime Achievement winner -- among so many other things! -- surveys the scene at Host City party, along with assistant Nicole Quessenberry. What did he say to provoke those looks? We’ll never know because what happens at conference stays at conference...usually! Ever smiling and always engaged, Ruth Alegria comes from Mexico to attend conference every year. Big shout out to Chef John Coletta of Quartino , who fed IACP the Italian way throughout many visits to Chicago. PHOTOS: LOWER LEFT, ROBIN E. H. OVE; ALL OTHERS, MARTHA HOLMBERG
START WITH A PARTY IACP members take partying very seriously – and well we should. A party is the background for so many important introductions, reunions, and other fruitful connections that enrich our lives. This year’s Host City event was held at Chicago Illuminating Company.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
Lead chef-instructor John Abels, of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago, mans a table of student-created delights. Party-goers are treated to food from close to twenty Chicago restaurants. Cathy Whims, chef-owner of Nostrana, publicist Helen Baldus of Watershed Communications, and Liz Barrett, VP of Communications at Terlato Wines kick off conference by connecting at Host City. Networking-palooza would be an apt name for the night’s event. It’s all about building connections through IACP. PHOTOS: LOWER RIGHT, MARTHA HOLMBERG; ALL OTHERS, ROBIN E. H. OVE
START WITH A PARTY
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
Members start every morning by nourishing their bodies with breakfast and their minds and souls with inspired presentations from a world of speakers. Chef Nephi Craig talks about a cuisine that’s truly authentic American -- Native American foods, especially from his Apache heritage.

PHOTOS: LEIGH LOFTUS
GET INSPIRED We had a line up of remarkable speakers for our morning sessions. Inspiration from all parts of the world, all aspects of culinary pursuit.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
Plenary speaker Sam Kass, of The White House’s Let’s Move organization, gets to visit his hometown of Chicago as a bonus for speaking at conference. Travel from Uganda to Australia to Chicago to speak to IACP about insects? Not a problem for Ben Reade, head of culinary R&D at The Nordic Food Lab. Douglas Gayeton brings his artist’s eye to the issues around sustainable food systems in his new multi-media project called The Lexicon of Sustainability. A long-time member and supporter of IACP, Rick Bayless hosts the morning sessions, knitting together the diverse threads of ideas from our amazing speakers. Thanks, Rick! ALL PHOTOS: LEIGH LOFTUS
GET INSPIRED
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
Chef John Manion works his impressive array of mise-en-place to create Brazilian deliciousness, such as the shrimp dish below. Cocktail expert Sam Sundius gets emphatic about her love of shrubs, traditional fruity drinking vinegars undergoing a renaissance. LCB Chicago, frosted with snow. Thanks again to the school’s staff and students! Rigorous research is required for true gastronomic understanding, hence students sample their way through a tasting of amari, another trending topic. Video-maven Catherine McCord shares a question during a session at the Digital Media Immersion. PHOTOS: TOP LEFT AND TOP RIGHT, LOWER LEFT: ROBIN E.H. OVE. ALL OTHERS LEIGH LOFTUS
LEARN AND SHARE This year’s sessions ranged from cooking classes at Le Cordon Bleu to skill-building lectures to tastings of uplifting spirits. Interest sections also gathered, to discuss issues that matter to members‌in the case of the Photographers and Stylists section, what mattered was a visit to Little Goat!
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
A local brew nourishes members of the Food Photographers and Stylists section during their meeting at Stephanie Izard’s Little Goat. Shooting the fare was to be expected. Jess Thomson makes her point during a session on the business realities of freelancing. Ideas fly during the fast-paced pitch slam, where Parade.com food editor Shannon McCook and leitesculinaria.com editor Renee Schettler are among the panelists sharing feedback. Ari Weinzwieg always inspires, sharing slightly subversive ideas on business management. And rocking a black T-shirt, as usual. PHOTOS: TOP TWO LEFT, ROBIN E.H. OVE; OTHERS THIS PAGE, LEIGH LOFTUS.

CELEBRATE EXCELLENCE BERT GREENE AWARDS The Bert Greene Awards were first presented in 1991 to honor excellence in food journalism. The awards were named after Bert Greene (1923-1988), a nationally renowned cooking teacher, cookbook author, and syndicated food columnist.
PUBLICATION OF THE YEAR Dana Cowin Food & Wine Magazine “On behalf of the entire staff of Food & Wine magazine, I’d like to thank the IACP for this wonderful award. We’re so honored that you’ve recognized our commitment to culinary innovation, visual storytelling and the power of food. We share the goals of the IACP--trying to give our readers the knowledge they need to have extraordinary experiences both in the kitchen and on their travels--which makes this award especially gratifying.”
PERSONAL ESSAYS/MEMOIRS Francis Lam “A Day on Long Island with Alex Lee” Lucky Peach “Thanks, of course, to chef Alex Lee for being such an inspiring figure for chefs and craftspeople everywhere, and for being so generous with his time and spirit. Thanks to Peter Meehan, Chris Ying, Dave Chang, and the entire Lucky Peach crew for having me in their pages, and, most of all, thanks to everyone who read the story.”

Thank you to my kids who put up with a lot of Daddy with his laptop in the corner chair of the living room by the fire. Thank you to Lee Dean of the Minneapolis Star Tribune for being Lee Dean, and for being at the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Life at the Hoffmans’ is better with Lee Dean in it.”

NARRATIVE CULINARY BLOG Michael Procopio Food for the Thoughtless “foodforthethoughtless.com” “To find out I had won the IACP award for Narrative Culinary Blog was exciting. It was a disappointment, however, not to have been able to accept it in person. I’m so happy to have the opportunity here to give my thanks. It’s a wonderful feeling to win, but the thought of being nominated alongside people like David Leite, Maureen Abood, and Kate McDermott was even nicer.”
PHOTO-BASED CULINARY BLOG Ilva Beretta & Jamie Schler Plated Stories “platedstories.blogspot.com“ “We would like to thank the IACP, the judges for the Digital Media Awards, our readers and supporters for this honor and we thank each other for the constant support and creative inspiration. Who would have thought that a spur of the moment idea at the San Francisco airport after last year’s IACP conference would lead to this? Winning the category for Best Photo Based Culinary Blog is a great encouragement for us, for the photos, of course, but above all for us as a collaborative team. Plated Stories is about images and words working together and reinforcing each other. Plated Stories allows us to explore our creative limits and experiment with the relationship between photography and writing. Thank you.”

IACP honors the best in the industry each year, and it’s an honor to be recognized among other trendsetters in traditional and emerging communications technologies. Our students have unlimited access to the secrets of cooking authentic French cuisine from the comfort of their own kitchen through interactive, whisk-by-whisk instruction from an incredibly talented chef.

It’s that simple. My goal was to do a few little food-inspired videos that went along with recipes and techniques in my newest cookbook, “Sweet and Vicious –baking with attitude.” This award is shared with the talented Eliza and Matt Barrera of Barrera Productions (average age 22). Together we storyboarded on napkins, shot on the fly and high-fived at the end of each of the 15 videos we shot. This was the first in the series – it was also the most fun to make, bake and eat.”

BEVERAGE/ REFERENCE/ TECHNICAL The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food & Drink in America, Second Edition Andrew F. Smith (Oxford University Press) “On behalf of our editors and the nearly 350 authors who contributed entries, it is an honor for me to accept the IACP’s award for best book in the Beverage/ Reference/ Technical category. It was a labor of love that began more than 12 years ago with the first edition. In this second edition we have added one volume’s worth of new material – over 300 new entries – and substantially revised much of the original publication. There have been so many interesting changes and trends in the American food and beverage scene in the past decade, and I am pleased that this three-volume set now covers much of that change. We have added entries on the explosive popularity of food television, the transfat and calorie-count laws that have resulted from greater health-consciousness, the growth of the slow food and organic movements, and the food fusion craze that has produced such cuisines as Southwestern sushi and Filipino hamburgers – and much else besides. I hope readers find the Encyclopedia informative and amusing in equal measure, and I thank my many collaborators who have ensured its success.”
CHEFS AND RESTAURANTS The A.O.C. Cookbook Suzanne Goin (Random House)
CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILY CHOP CHOP: The Kids’ Guide to Cooking Real Food with Your Family Sally Sampson (Simon & Schuster) “We’re so thrilled about this award. We believe that cooking skills are essential for everyone and, most importantly, should start in childhood. My hope is that this win highlights this and will help inspire kids everywhere to pick up a spatula!”
COMPILATIONS The Chelsea Market Cookbook: 100 Recipes from New York’s Premier Indoor Food Hall Michael Phillips with Rick Rodgers (Stewart, Tabori & Chang) “We’re proud to have been selected to receive the IACP Compilation Cookbook award for 2014. It is great to be in the presence of other high caliber publications and we realize that winning this award is a coveted mark of distinction. The book allowed us the opportunity to not only celebrate the culinary talent of Chelsea Market but it also allowed us to talk about the rich history of the market and the neighborhood. This award will also help to increase exposure for the two charities that receive a portion of the shares of the book and are two great causes we believe in. Charity: Water, an organization that brings clean drinking water to developing nations, and Wellness in the Schools, which encourages healthy eating and fitness in public schools across the country. None of this would have been possible without the help of our editors Elinor Hutton and Leslie Stoker and the rest of the publishing team at Stewart, Tabori & Chang.”
CULINARY HISTORY Cuisine & Empire: Cooking in World History Rachel Laudan (University of California Press)
CULINARY TRAVEL The Perfect Meal John Baxter (HarperCollins Publishers)
FIRST BOOK Stone Edge Farm Cookbook John McReynolds (Stone Edge Farm) “I am thrilled to be awarded the honors of both Cookbook of the Year and Julia Child First Book. A cookbook is the sum of many parts and mine is no exception. My longtime friend and editor Jill Hunting helped me define my writing voice and taught me the mantra, “when in doubt, take it out.” Leslie Lindell’s luscious photography beautifully tells the visual story of Stone Edge Farm and of my food. Our book designer Jennifer Barry guided us through the whole process and is responsible for creating the look, the feel, and the soul of my book -- thank you all!”
FOOD MATTERS Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health Jo Robinson (Hachette Book Group) “I am thrilled that my book has been awarded top honors. Food does indeed matter—especially in the critical role it plays in protecting and sustaining our good health. During my ten years of investigation into the connection between food and health, I have learned that we have been breeding key nutrients out of our food for 450 generations, not just the past two or three. Unwittingly, in our understandable desire for sweet-tasting, carbohydrate-rich, highfat, and bitter-free food, we have chosen plants that are low in vital plant compounds called “phytonutrients.” Researchers now know that a diet rich in phytonutrients is linked with a lower risk of our most deadly diseases: obesity, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. Knowing how to prepare, store, and cook these healthful foods is just as important as choosing the right varieties. In Eating on the Wild Side, I have done my best to present all this information in an engaging and practical way so that readers will be able to make full use of our newfound knowledge of how to bring back the healing properties of food. Thank you for bringing attention to my work!”
FOOD MATTERS Eat, Drink, Vote: An Illustrated Guide to Food Politics Marion Nestle (Rodale) “Grateful thanks to IACP for recognizing Eat, Drink, Vote, and to Sara Thaves of The Cartoonist Group for making it possible. Cartoonists love food just as much as I do and their work is food for thought, but calorie-free. I hope the book will inspire everyone to vote with forks for healthier food systems and even better, vote with votes!”
GENERAL Keepers Kathy Brennan & Caroline Campion (Rodale) “We are so honored to receive the IACP Award for Best General Cookbook. Keepers is our first cookbook, and while we certainly had high hopes for it, we never expected the kind of acclaim it has received, let alone to win an IACP award. But for us, the most gratifying thing has been the response from readers. We’ve had so many people tell us that Keepers has changed weeknight meals for them entirely. They are cooking more than ever and they are finding a confidence in the kitchen that they never had. That’s why we wrote the book, and in addition to our publisher, Rodale; our team, particularly William Clark; and the judges for this incredible honor, we want to express our gratitude to the readers who have embraced Keepers. Thank you!”
HEALTH & SPECIAL DIET Vegetable Literacy: Cooking and Gardening with Twelve Families from the Edible Plant Kingdom Deborah Madison (Ten Speed Press) “I’m thrilled that Vegetable Literacy has been given this honor by the IACP. Thank you, all. And I especially wish to thank the botanists and various plant people who answered my questions, Christopher Hirscheimer and Melissa Hamilton for their gorgeous images, especially the walking onions on the cover, and to the entire crew at Ten Speed Press for being such a joy to work with and for believing in this book. It was a joy to write.”
INTERNATIONAL Sauces & Shapes: Pasta the Italian Way Oretta Zanini De Vita & Maureen B. Fant (W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.) “Thanks from the heart first to our editor, Maria Guarnaschelli, who believed the world needed yet another pasta book in English -- this one -- and to everyone at Norton; to Gentl & Hyers and Luciana Marini, whose images captured so perfectly what we wanted to say; to Michelle Farkas, for her spot-on wine pairings; and to Francesco Filippi, Iris Carulli, and Amalia Palleschi, for their counsel and companionship all along the way. Thanks as well, and not least, to the IACP for its vote of solidarity for the old Italian way. And most especially we thank the generations of Italian families who perfected and preserved these simple but delicious recipes.”
LITERARY FOOD WRITING One Souffle at a Time Anne Willan and Amy Friedman (St. Martin’s Press) “Writing One Soufflé at a Time has been one of the many adventures of my life. The book would never have existed at all without my wonderful co-author, Amy Friedman, who truly captured my voice and many happy memories. I can best sum it up with a famous saying from my native Yorkshire: An apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze!”
PHOTOGRAPHY I Love New York: Ingredients and Recipes Daniel Humm & Will Guidara Francesco Tonelli, photographer (Ten Speed Press)
“We are so incredibly honored to receive this award and turn the spotlight onto the many amazing farmers, purveyors, and artisans of New York. But it’s Franceco Tonelli who really deserves the praise. He beautifully captured the people who inspire us every day and their commitment to producing and raising the best ingredients. His photos showcase what ultimately motivated us to write this book, the amazing bounty of ingredients in New York. Because of Francesco, all of the moments we had as we toured the state have truly come to life. And with that, we’d like to extend a special thanks to all of the people who allowed us to visit them, to sample their products, and to tour their properties. And thank you to our core team of Sandra DiCapua, Bryce Shuman, and Peter Weltman who devoted innumerable hours to helping with the planning, writing, researching, and editing of this book; their time and effort made this all possible.”
PROFESSIONAL KITCHENS Elements of Dessert Francisco Migoya and the Culinary Institute of America (Wiley) “I want to take this opportunity to thank my wife, Kris; The Culinary Institute of America; my Project Editor, Maggie Wheeler; Wiley; and the International Association of Culinary Professionals for this great honor.”
SINGLE SUBJECT Mast Brothers Chocolate: A Family Cookbook Rick Mast and Michael Mast (Hachette Book Group)
WINE, BEER AND SPIRITS Wine Grapes Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding & Jose Vouillamoz (HarperCollins Publishers) “We three J, co-authors of Wine Grapes, surely the heaviest of your winners weighing in at 7lb, are thrilled to have been given not just one but two IACP awards. The book took four hard years of slog and we were determined to uphold high standards of research, scholarship and literacy, so we are particularly pleased to have won the award named after Jane Grigson. She was an exceptional woman – and British to boot! We are also very pleased that news of these awards comes hot on the heels of the launch of an e-version of Wine Grapes of which we and the publishers Ecco are equally proud. Thank you, IACP.”
GLOBAL DESIGN Manresa: An Edible Reflection David Kinch & Christine Muhlke (Ten Speed Press)
E-COOKBOOK The Journey Katy Sparks, Alex Raij, Maneet Chauhan, Rita Sodi and Kathleen Squires (Alta Editions) “It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized by the IACP for The Journey. First and foremost I would like to thank our talented chef authors, Katy Sparks, Maneet Chauhan, Alex Raij and Rita Sodi, for sharing their inspiring stories and delicious recipes. Co-author Kathleen Squires and editor Deri Reed played a critical role in developing the editorial focus of the book and refining each chef’s story and recipes. Photographer Penny De Los Santos captured each dish and chef beautifully. I would also like thank our copyeditor Suzanne Fass and each member of the Alta Editions team: Joe Collins, Johnny Hernandez, Kim Santos, Gina Tirelli, Anna Butler, Michelle Kamerath, Doris Tang, Hendrik Dimter, Zhuzi Cui and Christoph Klaerner. Last, but not least, we are grateful for the contributions of Sumin Chou of Concentric Studio and Nurul Karim.” --Chris McBrie Publisher, Alta Editions
