Art of the Pie 2014 IACP Food Writing Awards Finalist

Art of the Pie is IACP Food Writing Awards Finalist!

Art of the Pie has been chosen as a 2014 IACP Food Writing Awards Finalist by the The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP)!  It is one of four finalists in the Digital Media Narrative Culinary Blog category.

We’re talking some pretty amazing people nominated here like David Leite, Michael Procopio, and Maureen Abood and I’m honored to be among them!

Here’s a list of ALL the nominees. Be sure to check out the work of my dear friends Ilva Berreta and Jamie Schler whose blog, Plated Stories, is up for an award in Photo Based Culinary Blog.

All the winners will be announced on March 15 at the 2014 IACP Conference in Chicago.

Now here’s my fantasy idea. I fly to Chicago for one day with a pie, or two or three even, and give away slices at the conference; go to the awards ceremony and then hop on the last flight of the day and head home.

Likely? Well, most likely I’ll hear the news from good friends who will be attending. I’ll be home at Pie Cottage getting everything ready for the first “Pie A La Road” trip to California where I’ll be teaching 8 classes in 13 days in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Francisco.

I am keeping my fingers crossed…and lattice strips, too…that my blog might receive an award on March 15. But, just being nominated is a huge WOW for me and already makes me feel like a winner!
