For the first time ever Chile has won the international competition that highlights the world’s best culinary books. The award ceremony was held at the Theatre Les Folies Bergere in Paris and the book, Gourmet Patagonia’s “Patagonia Cuisine,” received the award for the best culinary book of the year at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

Nine top judges from nine different countries gathered in Santiago this week to assess Chile’s finest wines, and of the 17 Trophies they awarded, 11 of them were for wines from Chile’s much-lauded cooler climate regions of Limarí, Elqui, San Antonio, Casablanca and Bío Bío.
