'Wonderful' shortlists for Food Writers awards


09.05.13 | Lisa Campbell - The Bookseller

The Guild of Food Writers Awards shortlists include a “wonderful diversity of subject matter” for 2013, the organisers have said.

The annual ceremony awards feature categories such as Cookery Book of the Year, Campaigning and Investigative Food Writing, Cookery Journalist of the Year, Food Blog of the Year and Food Broadcast of the Year. This year’s list includes names like Yotam Ottolenghi, who is up for the cookery journalist of the year award for work published in the Guardian’s Weekend magazine. Also on the list is work such as Consider the Fork: A History of Invention in the Kitchen by Bee Wilson (Particular Books), who is nominated for the Food Book of the Year award.

A spokesman for Guild of Food Writers said: “This year’s record entry levels have ensured a wonderful diversity of subject matter, from food poverty and obesity to home-curing and seasonality, and a global outlook taking us from Shanghai to Jerusalem and right back, of course, to Britain. The shortlists highlight emerging talent as well as featuring some of our best-known food writers and broadcasters.”
The award ceremony will take place on 29th May at the RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London, where winners will be presented with an engraved glass trophy and a £500 prize.
