Cookbooks have been a celebrated, vital publishing category for The Harvard Common Press. In the mid 1990s The Harvard Common Press was awarded its first James Beard Book Award—considered by many the most prestigious honor in the culinary world—for Smoke & Spice and The Border Cookbook, both written by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison. This began a trend of national and international industry accolades for titles such as Prairie Home Cooking, Vegetarian Planet, The Basque Table, and The Japanese Kitchen. The company has long been noted for its barbecue, vegetarian, international, and regional American cookbooks. Our childcare/parenting line has been equally renowned, with such titles as The Nursing Mother’s Companion, now in its 25th year, with over 1 million copies sold!
