Charleston Kitchen” won for best American cookbook. Food & Wine Magazine was named ‘Publication of the Year’, Food52 and Saveur tied for Best Culinary Website, while The Journey by Katy Sparks won in the E-Cookbook category.

Considered the gold standard among cookbook awards, IACP’s Cookbook Awards have been presented for more than 25 years to promote quality and creativity in writing and publishing and to expand the public’s awareness of culinary literature.

In his Stone Edge Farm Cookbook, released in November of 2013, Culinary Director John McReynolds has recreated the world of Stone Edge Farm in the pages of a lavishly illustrated coffee table book.
