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.
