144 nominated countries for the Gourmand Awards 2010!
For the Gourmand Awards 2010, we have already 144 countries participating in August. We had 136 countries in 2009 in total in November.Bhutan, Cook Island, Montenegro, New Caledonia and Uzbekistan participate for the first time.
We now have cookbooks which are available exclusivelly as ebooks, on Kindle or others , such as the Peace Corps Cookbooks of Fiji, Mauritania and Turkmenistan, published in 2010.
The quality of cookbooks everywhere is increasing very rapidly, thanks to the new digital technogies. It is quite impressive in Asia and Latin America, less in North America. We have in 2010 a very complete presence of African cookbooks.
Fund Raising, Charity, and Community Cookboks are participating from over 30 countries this year.
We plan a major exhibition of these cookbooks from over 70 countries at Paris Cookbook Fair, March 3-6, 2011.
For wine books, the number of participating countries 2010 is 46 compared to 36 last year. There is a strong demand from new consumers of wine around the world.
The wine book publishers in “The Old” wine countries are less aware of the very positive trend.
We exspect the increase in wine books and cookboks to be well over 30% in the Gourmand Awards this year.
It is a sign of the healthy culinary book market.

CHEFS ARE BRANDS
Press Release January 5, 2010
New Year lists of the top celebrity chefs in the world,
compared with world famous brands.
Today brands are built mostly through television. Few brands get as much television exposure as celebrity chefs. This allows chefs to be built up even without a restaurant, and those who do have a restaurant realize quickly there is much more in television, sponsorships, and cookbooks. For the Paris Cookbook Fair, February 12-15, a list of the international celebrity chefs compared to brands and famous people has been prepared. The numbers are taken from the article traffic statistics of Wikipedia in English in December 2009. Anyone can do the same:
Todlbox-special pages
Wiki-data-tools statistics
Article traffic statistics
According to Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, more than 340 million people use Wikipedia every month. This is the audience of a third of the internet connected world every month. It is free, you can use the information in Wikipedia in any way you want. It is free of charge, free of advertising, spreading knowledge everywhere, and keeps growing. It is supported entirely by donations. Its mission is to give free access to the sum of all human knowledge.
Wikipedia is in fact the most gigantic poll ever dreamed by politicians, corporations or the media. The data can be used by brands in their marketing research, at no cost, except maybe welcomed donations. The most intriguing results of the lists compiled for the Paris Cookbook Fair is that they confirm in general the rankings in other sector studies and polls. The question is to compare now apples and oranges, politicians, brands, chefs, generic products, with everything else in the 3.140.000 articles in English.
There are lists of chefs, food VIPS, and brands.
1.- Top 28 World Celebrity Chefs
2.- Top Foreign Celebrity Chefs

8.- Brands – Slow Food to Richard Juhlin

QUINO PRESENTS HIS DRAWINGS AT THE LE CENTQUATRE
During one of his countless round trips between Buenos Aires and Paris, Quino will present his exhibition at Le Centquatre. Everybody knows him as an hedonist without complacency. At the Paris Cookbook Fair, you will discover his vision of gastronomy. Sometimes tender like his love of a good table and a great wine, sometimes skeptical considering the smiles of a Maître d’Hôtel, and often very critical towards the industrial and commercial drifts of food. At the Opera, in a great restaurant or at the bottom of a shantytown, the characters’ adventures merge for creating a true Odyssey of table, with some heroes and many traitors. The drawings presented at the exhibition are from "La Aventura de Comer", published by Daniel Divinsky at Ediciones de la Flor, in Argentina. On July 1st, at La Comédie-Française, "La Aventura de Comer" received the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for to the best illustrations. The theatre and its public coming from forty seven countries will never forget the ovation for Quino. An unforgettable moment.
.
ALBERTO BALI CREATES THE POSTER OF THE PARIS COOKBOOK FAIR
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Alberto Bali lives in Paris since 1976.
Painter, architect, graphic designer, sculptor, decorator, designer...a retrospective of his works could fill a museum. His paintings are tributes to the cities he explores, with an impressive collection on Paris, Buenos Aires, London and Hong Kong, among others.
In Paris, Alain Dutournier and Joël Robuchon have requested his work as a designer, and you can admire the result while dining at Le Carré des Feuillants.
A poster by Bali has always something special. Some years ago, he was chosen as one of the 45 top poster artists in the world to create an image for La Gitane. Two of the most loved Willi’s Wine Bar’s posters are also by Bali.

A DREAM COME TRUE!!
Press Release, February 18, 2010
The trade in foreign rights for food and wine books was equal or better at Paris Cookbook Fair than at the latest Frankfurt Book Fair or London Book Fair. In spite of very bad weather, it was a success, because of Paris, the beautiful Le Cent Quatre venue, a professional organization, many foreign visitors and exhibitors, and the style of the “Gourmand Family”.
The Exhibitors
One exhibitor said he did better business February 12-15, 2010 at Paris
Cookbook Fair than at Frankfurt and London Book Fairs combined. The trade in
foreign rights was beyond expectations, including unexpected combinations such
as Colombia selling to Korea, or first time self published books entering in
serious negotiations with Hachette or Phaidon.
The trade was balanced between buyers and sellers, with an unexpectedly
high numbers of buyers of foreign rights. The cookbook market is very healthy.
The Visitors
Paris proved once again it is a magnet for food and wine visitors.
In total, there were 3123 trade visitors, a large number for a sector
which is a small section of the book business. Each visitor was counted only
once, even if they repeated on various days. They were two thirds foreigners,
and one third french. This shows there was a real need to bring together at
the Paris Cookbook Fair the international market for food and wine books.
Most of the visitors were publishers and authors. There were more booksellers
than expected for this first event, from France, Europe, and from as
far as Canada (Vancouver, Quebec) or Australia. Several big international distributors
and printers were very happy that did come.
The level of serious business felt more like a third year than a first
year!
The Weather
The February date was chosen to be the first book event after the end
of the year, after the big sales for cookbooks and wine books. Projects started
at Paris Cookbook Fair can be ready for the end of the year.
However, this has been a cold winter, with snow storms in North America
and Europe the two days before the Paris Cookbook Fair.
The weather was colder than expected in Paris and within Le Cent Quatre
building. This kept many Parisians at home, and we had less visitors from the
general public than planned.
We might move the dates a few weeks later next year!
The Future
We already have most exhibitors confirming they will come back next
year, some wanting to increase substantially the surface of their stands.
We still stay at Le Cent Quatre, the most beautiful place for exhibitors
in Paris when there is sun. As one foreign visitor said “it is a very special
building, with a soul”.
The layout will stay basically the same, with a few improvements, learning
from this year’s experience. The conferences will be in smaller rooms. We will
keep two show kitchens, one international, the other french. We will increase
wine tastings, which were very successful.
Our daily Gourmand Magazine will be increased in pages, and probably
translated from English to other languages.
Summary
A success beyond expectations for nearly all participants, in spite
of the weather.
It was great for business.
It was a happy and elegant event, in which all can be proud of having
participated.

UN SALON QUI AGITE LE MONDE DE L'ÉDITION
PARIS COOKBOOK FESTIVAL
Pourquoi ce salon agite-t-il le monde de l’édition?
Désormais, Paris est au livre de cuisine ce que Francfort est à l’édition: le centre mondial des droits internationaux. Ainsi, la quantité de traductions négociées au Cookbook Festival a dépassé toutes les prévisions, et les résultats commenceront à paraître en librairie dès Noël 2010.
L’ouverture sur l’international
La bonne santé du livre de cuisine fait l’objet d’articles dans le monde entier.
Pourtant, certains pays ont tendance à se renfermer sur leur propre production,
parfois par manque d’intérêt pour l’étranger, parfois par absence de contacts,
parfois par surcharge de travail chez les éditeurs.
Les principaux acteurs du secteur ont rencontré sur ce salon leurs homologues
étrangers, avec notamment une intense activité des Chinois, des Italiens, des
Russes, des Allemands et des Coréens. L’année prochaine, la présence américaine
et britannique sera renforcée.
Le dynamisme des grands éditeurs
Pendant que certains arrivaient à des accords inattendus en termes de coopération éditoriale, d’autres réservaient une surface trois fois supérieure pour l’année prochaine, un très grand éditeur anglais posait son regard sur chaque ouvrage exposé au centre de droits et la directrice d’une grande maison allemande assistait à une démonstration culinaire de son futur auteur.
Reconnaissance et distribution des indépendants
Alors que leur créativité mériterait une meilleure exposition, les indépendants sont trop souvent relégués derrière les grands groupes. Les distributeurs ont d’ailleurs compris le pouvoir des indépendants dans le secteur du livre de cuisine. Certains éditeurs ont, après le salon, le choix entre plusieurs propositions de distributeurs.
Honneur à l’auto-édition
Ces dernières années ont vu fleurir une quantité remarquable de très bons
ouvrages auto-édités. En dehors du budget, l’auteur n’a aucune contrainte pour
la réalisation de son livre. Par contre, la visibilité et la distribution restent
marginales, selon les efforts de l’auteur.
Au Cookbook Festival, les ouvrages auto-édités ont le même statut et la même
vitrine que les autres: citons par exemple ce responsable du magasin Louis
Vuitton sur les Champs-Élysées quittant le salon avec trois caisses d’un livre
écrit et publié par une mère et sa fille.
Le numérique?
Si les pionniers du livre de cuisine numérique des États-Unis et d’Angleterre étaient présents, c’est dans les livres sur le vin qu’une surprise conceptuelle est apparue. Un des plus grands spécialistes mondiaux sur le vin français a présenté la version digitale de son ouvrage de référence, en assumant volontiers les possibles piratages. “Laissez les jeunes partager mon livre, ils feront mon marketing” suggère-t-il en riant.
La place de l’auteur
De nos jours, l’auteur est assez peu reconnu. En dehors des grands chefs et des personnalités médiatiques, les plumes restent souvent anonymes et reçoivent un traîtement indigne de leur travail. Il faut inverser cette tendance qui ferait des auteurs les redevables de leurs éditeurs.
Un réseau convivial, polyglotte et hédoniste
La clef du succès de ce salon est la mise en relation des éditeurs entre eux. Depuis des années, l’équipe de Gourmand International est habituée à présenter les Japonais aux Argentins, les Français aux Anglais, les chefs aux éditeurs, les photographes aux journalistes, etc. Parvenir à créer cette convivialité demande une grande curiosité et un appétit certain pour les différentes cultures.
En 2011, chacun pourra prendre part à cette convivialité, et en tirer ses propres bénéfices.
