The winner also won the prize for an earlier cookbook in 2013.
The big winner is the cookbook Spuntino by Russell Norman † The book is a culinary adventure through the streets of New York. It is interesting for both professionals and home cooks. Not only are there recipes in Spuntino, but culinary walks through different neighborhoods of New York are also described. The recipes are tempting, hungry and challenging, yet easy to prepare, according to the jury. The design is beautiful, there is a lot to see, watch, cook and read.
In the Netherlands Spuntino was not a bestseller, that also applies to the other nominated books. According to the jury, this is because diet books and books for conscious and healthy eating are doing well in the Netherlands. The jury finds that less important. They especially pay attention to tasty recipes and the stories behind the food.
Spuntino is for sale for €29.99, among others via AKO or Bol.com.
