Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
A lavish ceremony in Le Cent Quatre, Paris was held last Friday (February 11, 2010) in honour of The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2009.
Lisa Holt, Author and Head Designer at Letterland International, was presented with The Gourmand Best in the World Award for The Letterland Cookbook - An Alphabet of Recipes, in the Best Children and Family Cookbook category. She was in good company, alongside Jamie Oliver who won the Award for Best Food Television Producer.
After receiving her award from Monsieur Edouard Cointreau, President, Lisa Holt said “We are all delighted that the Letterland Cookbook has received this prestigious award, particularly as there was such stiff competition from across the world. We are so proud to be able to produce a book that helps young children to learn to cook and read at the same time!”
Bringing together two of the country’s hottest topics – phonics and healthy eating – Managing Director of Letterland, Mark Wendon, said, “What could be better than a fun and functional book that teaches children the benefits of a balanced diet whilst developing their listening, speaking and literacy skills at the same time?”
