Price rain over Sweden and Sápmi in the international cookbook competition Gourmand Awards!

In this year’s edition of the prestigious international cookbook competition Gourmand Awards, Sweden won more prizes than ever before, including the amazingly excellent award ‘Best Food Book of the Year in all categories’, for EALLU, a book of indigenous youth from all over the Arctic published in Norway by the International Reindeer Center in cooperation with the Arctic Council.

– This award is a great recognition of the untiring work of indigenous peoples with what they believe in, for our unique Arctic food resources and our 10,000-year-old food traditions in the north, said Anders Oskal, Secretary General of the International Center for Reindeer Husbandry. We hope that the in-depth knowledge of food can now be highlighted, documented, respected and used to build their own communities in a time of very great changes in the Arctic. Gourmand Awards The finest prize is an important contribution to such a development and gives our youth the strength, pride and inspiration to work on. Therefore, this gives a great boost to our entire polar circular organization.

215 countries participated in the Gourmand Awards 2018 with gala and awards ceremony in Yantai, China on 26-27 May. The prestigious awards are distributed to cookbook writers, photographers, designers, publishers and media from all over the world.

Edouard Cointreau, chairman of the jury, president and founder of the Gourmand Awards, comments on Sweden’s successes:
– Sweden shows consistently high quality of books and other contributions in the food media, not least through design, where Lotta Kühlhorn’s design of the book AZUR is distinguished especially this year. With a high degree of innovation through audiobooks, toned drinks, television and tourism, Sweden shows the way in several global contexts. Sweden shows that a small country can claim internationally in all areas and it reflects more than ever after our international jury announced the results.

Best In The World

– Sweden has many affiliations throughout the world, it pleases me in particular that so many authors and publishers frequent travel to the Gourmand Awards awards in China, says Pelle Agorelius Grythyttan, who runs Husmansbord and Saxhyttegubben Grythyttan with his wife Ewa, and that is Swedish partner for the Gourmand Awards. This year, the representation became particularly unique when we collaborated with the Arctic Council and the International Center for Reindeer Husbandry on the occasion of EALLU, this year’s global world winner through the first prize in the Best Food Book of the Year in all categories.

Edouard Cointreau, chairman of the jury, president and founder of the Gourmand Awards, gives the following statement as to why EALLU won the most prestigious award of all:

– EALLU is the first book ever to show an overview of the food culture of indigenous peoples in the Arctic, said Edouard Cointreau, jury chairman, president and founder of the Gourmand Awards. A unique book, like unlike many others, can really change the lives of indigenous families, their nomadic communities and villages. In an exceptional and impressive way, the authors, who are all indigenous women, have managed to create a book that describes life and food culture in places that are largely unknown to the outside world. The way these young people, highly professional and respectful, shared their food, their arctic cultures and, in particular, their insights into global sustainability issues, at the Gourmand Awards on May 26, immediately caught the attention of cooks, authors, writers, journalists and photographers from more than 60 countries.
