In the Special Cookbook Awards category, which honors books that have changed the way people think about food, winners included the eminent Joan Nathan for “Jewish Cooking In America,” which demonstrates the way traditional Jewish foods are tailored to the modern American palette.

For his column in the New York Times called “The Pour,” Eric Asimov (who happens to be the nephew of novelist Isaac Asimov) was awarded Best Beverage-Focused Column.
Mark Weinberg, a food photographer whose work has appeared on Food52 and in Everyday with Rachael Ray, won Best Editorial/Personal Food Photograph for an image of strudel.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
