Best in the World – Congratulations to Ronny Emborg and The Wizard’s Cookbook !
We sincerely congratulate Ronny Emborg and The Wizard’s Cookbook on their incredible achievement!
While we may not be chefs ourselves, we can confidently say this recognition is well deserved. Without Ronny Emborg and our collaboration, we – along with photographer Signe Birck, text editor Rasmus Kramer Schou, printer Narayana Press, and ourselves at Bønnelycke MDD – would never have had this opportunity. A huge thank you for making it happen !
The Gourmand Awards are often compared to the “Oscars” of the culinary world – why, we’re not entirely sure. But one thing is certain: we are extremely proud that The Wizard’s Cookbook claimed four prestigious awards:
- Best Design Cookbook 2014
- Best Self-Published Book 2014
- Best Chef’s Cookbook 2014
- Best in the World Chef’s Cookbook 2014
By the way, the Danish magazine Gastro featured the book in its March 2014 issue. In their words:
“Ekstrem! Intet mindre end ekstrem, sådan må Ronny Emborgs første kogebog beskrives. Et kostbart selvfinansieret projekt med opskrifter, de færreste nok evner at følge, men på samme tid er den suverænt flotte bog et sjældent og interessant kig ind i et køkkenunivers, danske bogudgivelser stort set aldrig giver os.”
“Er mad kunst? Det evige spørgsmål, og det evige svar er og bliver nej. Men så er der bøger som Ronny Emborgs, der alligevel får en til at komme i tvivl.”
Translated from Danish: “Extreme! Nothing less than extreme – that’s the only way to describe Ronny Emborg’s first cookbook. A costly, self-financed project with recipes most would struggle to follow, yet this stunning book offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into a culinary universe seldom seen in Danish publications.
“Is food art? The eternal question. The eternal answer is no. But then there are books like Ronny Emborg’s, which make you wonder.”
