Russell Norman, who claimed the award for an earlier cookbook in 2013, has triumphed again with Spuntino—the standout winner for 2020.
This acclaimed book embarks readers on a flavorful culinary journey through New York's iconic streets. Perfect for professional chefs and home cooks alike, it blends irresistible recipes with vivid tours of the city's diverse neighborhoods. The jury hailed the dishes as tempting, hearty, and challenging yet straightforward to prepare, all wrapped in exquisite design that captivates the eye, palate, stove, and mind.
In the Netherlands, Spuntino and fellow nominees didn't dominate bestseller charts, eclipsed by diet and health-focused titles. The jury, however, championed standout recipes and the rich stories behind them above fleeting trends.
Spuntino is available for €29.99 at AKO, Bol.com, and more.
