Cooking Light Wins 2 James Beard Foundation Awards
Eating healthy should still be delicious.
Last Friday night was a good night for Cooking Light! We won both of the James Beard Foundation Awards we were nominated for. The New Way to Cook Light won for best cookbook in the “Focus on Health” category.
Executive Editor, Food Ann Taylor Pittman won in the Food and Culture category of the Journalism awards for her November 2012 article, "Mississippi Chinese Lady Goes Home to Korea."
