Mila's Meals wins Gourmand Best In the World Cookbook Award

Описание: Mila’s Meals: The Beginning & The Basics by Catherine Barnhoorn has been awarded the prestigious Best in the World Gourmand World Cookbook Award in the First Book category at the glamorous ceremony held in China on 28 May.

The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards have been celebrating the best food and wine books in the world for the last 22 years. The competition has grown to be the most prestigious of its kind and has informally become known as the Oscars of the cookbook world. Publishers from over 200 countries nominate thousands of books each year.

“This massive book is a mother-daughter team work. It shares much nutrition information and tips, plus one hundred recipes. The photography is delightful. This is an excellent book.” - President of the Jury, Edouard Cointreau

Catherine is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and single mother. “My daughter Mila is the great inspiration behind Mila’s Meals,” she explained. “With the growing prevalence of conditions like celiac disease, IBS, lactose and gluten intolerance, ADHS and diabetes, parents have been facing the growing problem of what foods are safe for them and their growing children. I wrote Mila’s Meals as a tool for parents and health practitioners who are having to deal with these conditions.”

Mila’s Meals: The Beginning & The Basics. It is a 500-page collection of over 100 gluten-, sugar- and dairy free, nourishing, wholefood recipes and food ideas for baby’s first years (and the rest of the family too).

“I am incredibly honoured by the Gourmand Awards jury naming Mila’s Meals the 'Best in the World'. This has given me a valuable platform to spread the 'food is medicine' message. It is an amazing to see how an idea can become a reality, what a mother’s love can achieve, and how a challenging situation (like food intolerances) can turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Isn’t it amazing what our children can teach us?”

Mila’s Meals: The Beginning & The Basics has also been placed as a finalist in the Health/Wellness (non-fiction) category of the international 2017 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (NGIBA).
