Northern Ireland Food Companies Shortlisted for Best in The World Cookbook Award
The great taste of home has been recognised in an amazing THREE categories at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. The categories are Best Digital Website in the World; Best Digital Food Institution in the World and Best Culinary Travel in the World. The nominations are for Food NI; a not for profit organisation which works to showcase Northern Ireland food and drink through a website, printed guides, Facebook, Twitter and events.
The Gourmand Awards celebrate global cookbook and wine book publishing and feature many world renowned food writers each year. This is the first year there has been a Northern Ireland section.
Each country will have category winners and then the Best Overall will be announced at a prizegiving ceremony in the Chinese wine region of Yantai in June.
Chairman of Food NI, John Best said “This is a great achievement for Northern Ireland’s food and drink to be now recognised globally and to be shortlisted in these awards is as good as it gets. We couldn’t do what we do without our members.
Our producers grow, rear and make the most fantastic ingredients for our chefs to cook with. And work tirelessly to spread the word that Our Food is So Good. They are constantly updating our website, Facebook and Twitter and of course, they talk to journalists and food writers every day. It’s wonderful to have that effort recognised”.
