Previously known as the IACP/Julia Child Cookbook Awards,
this prestigious competition changed its name in 1999
following the wishes of its namesake. However, Julia's
support for IACP remains steadfast and she continues
to lend her name to the First Book category. A jury
of 33 culinary professionals, including food writers,
cookbook authors, and food editors, evaluated the books
against a detailed list of criteria and tested scores
of recipes before arriving at the list of finalists.
