Congratulations to Michelle Bernstein for winning a spot on Food & Wine's top 25 cookbooks of 2009.
According to Publishers Weekly, "Every year, about 24,000 new cookbooks hit bookstore shelves."
Michelle Bernstein's book Cuisine à Latina is available at all major retailers and online.
Big ups to her for getting our city notice. Miami is full of fire and this will be a great help to the movement.
Food & Wine will include a Bernstein recipe in the book it releases featuring one from each of its winners, so as long as they're capitalizing off our talent, let's remember their audience's eyeballs are integral to our success as a food city. It is what it is.
