Chef Tatung adds another accolade to his belt as his book "Simpol Dishkarte" wins the 2023 Best Celebrity Book in the World at the 29th World Gourmand Awards held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Nov. 28, 2023.
Granting the title of "Best in the World" since 1995, the World Gourmand Awards were founded by Edouard Cointreau. Since then, it has been an award-giving body that honors the best food and wine books, whether printed or digital, as well as television shows.
Focusing on the cleverness hidden within simplicity, Filipino pride Chef Tatung created a cookbook that makes cooking easier to follow. Not only does "Simpol Dishkarte" lighten the load of preparing a variety of meals due to its simple instructions, but it also teaches readers how to choose and differentiate the best ingredients for each dish.
The simplicity within the pages, along with colorful illustrations revealing the delicious results of each recipe, are aspects that make this book endearing to those who read it.
Congrats, Chef!
