The International Association of Culinary Professionals just announced its 2016 IACP Award finalists, which recognize the best food writing of the year, from cookbooks to journalism to photography and digital media.
Nominees of note in the Cookbooks category this year include chef Alex Stupak and Jordana Rothman's Tacos: Recipes & Provocations, which was nominated in three categories (International, Chefs and Restaurants, and the Julia Child First Book award). J. Kenji Lòpez-Alt of Serious Eats was nominated in the American category for his book The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science; barbecue legend Aaron Franklin snagged a nomination for Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto; and Eater's very own Robert Sietsema was nominated in the Literary Food Writing category for New York in a Dozen Dishes.
Winners will be announced during IACP's 38th annual conference in Los Angeles on April 3. Below, the full list of IACP cookbook, journalism (the Bert Greene Awards), and digital media finalists:
