The James Beard Award has been called the "Oscars of the food world." There is no monetary prize, but it's validation for those who make food and drink their livelihood.
I took home a copy of Love Soup last year and ended up buying a copy for my collection. I had no idea there were so many ways to make soup! It's a vegetarian cookbook but meat lovers could always throw in a handful of diced chicken, pork, or whatever dead animal you've got in the freezer.
