Cookbook oscars win cements itself in Star Mail history



A cookbook published by Signs Publishing Company in Warburton was named Best in the World at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards on 19 June.

Food As Medicine: Cooking to Prevent and Treat Diabetes by Sydney-based dietitian Dr Sue Radd was awarded best cookbook in the Health Professionals Books category, beating out shortlisted books from France, Mexico, Portugal and Spain.

The award citation for the book labelled it an “empowering and science-backed guide” that offered a practical and inspiring approach to diabetes.

Accredited practising dietitian and senior lecturer at the University of Sydney Dr Sue Radd said the recipes took a “huge amount of work”.

Dr Radd said she chose the small, Warburton-based Signs Publishing Company because she felt as if it would be good to give a smaller publisher a chance to publish something it might not have published otherwise.

The cookbook is packed with valuable information on nutrition, delivered in bite-sized, easy-to-digest messages (no pun intended).
