Vancouver: Barbara-Jo's Cookbook Awards



One of my favorite independent bookstores, Barbara-Jo's Books to Cooks in Vancouver, is hosting Barbara-Jo's Second Annual Cookbook Awards.

The staff selected ten titles as front runners in a "very heated contest."

In alphabetical order, they are:

The 100-Mile Diet by Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

Cioppino's Mediterranean Grill by Pino Posterraro

The Flexiterian Table by Peter Berley

Fresh by John Bishop/Dennis Green/Dawne Gourley

Jamie at Home by Jamie Oliver

Pure Dessert by Alice Medrich

River Cottage Fish Book by Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall and Nick Fisher

Vegetable Harvest by Patricia Wells

Wild Garlic, Gooseberries and Me by Dennis Cotter

Of course I'm disappointed that the book I edited, Fabulous Fairholme : Breakfasts & Brunches, didn't make the cut.

Next year!
