The IACP, which would be the International Association of Culinary Professionals and not the International Association of Chiefs of Police — yes, that's an old joke now, but you try googling IACP and see what you

get — announced their 2012 award winners at their annual conference last night in New York City. The event was hosted by Mo Rocca of the Cooking Channel show Food(ography).

This year's winners included L.A.'s very own KCRW's Good Food with Evan Kleiman for Audio Series (Long Format); Tasting India by Christine Manfield won Cookbook of the Year; Modernist Cuisine by Nathan Myhrvold, Chris Young, Maxime Billet in The Design Award and Professional Kitchens category; Ancient Grains for Modern Meals by Maria Speck for First Book (The Julia Child Award); and in the Food and Beverage Reference/Technical category, Ruhlman's Twenty by Michael Ruhlman. Other notable winners included Saveur.com for Culinary Website, and Gilt Taste for Culinary Product or Brand Website. There are plenty of other winners in plenty of other categories, including one for Corporate Marketing Campaign of the Year. Who knew.
