Apr 14 - Mama Lotties’ Cookbook Nominated For 2015 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards
The local cookbook '76 Mama Lotties Gibraltarian Inspired Recipes' by Justin Bautista has been nominated for the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2015. These awards are considered to be the ‘Oscars of gastronomic literature’.
The awards, created by Edouard Cointreau in 1995, honour the best books on cooking and wine from around the world - winners are selected from among 205 nominations. The verdict will be announced on the 9th June.
Six months after its launch, the cookbook has now been translated into Spanish and is for sale at major bookstores in Gibraltar and on Amazon.
"Someone may tell me that a dish is Spanish," says the author, "and they may be right, but that is something that identifies with our kitchen".
"I want to convey that, although we are different countries, there is a mutual influence and it's nice that two countries with different cultures are so close and at the same time retain their own identity."
