We here at Whitecap are proud to announce that Kitchen Scraps by Pierre A. Lamielle has been awarded Best Food Book Illustrations in the World at the 2009 Gourmand Awards in Paris, France!

In the Best Illustration category, Kitchen Scraps competed against 19 other cookbooks from 17 countries from around the world. The winner was announced at an awards ceremony on February 11, 2010. Pierre Lamielle, who wrote and illustrated Kitchen Scraps, was on hand to accept the award in Paris. “Edward Cointreau made me deliver the acceptance speech in French,” laments Lamielle, an adamant Anglophone who was raised in North Vancouver and now lives in Calgary.

Whitecap could not be more proud of Pierre Lamielle and Kitchen Scraps!
