GOURMAND AWARDS
The Best Cookbooks in the World 

The Gourmand Awards have changed the notion of gastronomy, its history, and its importance. With your efforts and dedication, you have changed the horizon of gastronomy.

Sara Beatriz Guardia, UNESCO Chair, USMP University, Lima, Peru November 29, 2022

Monsieur Edouard Cointreau,

You gave a lot of joy and happiness, You made famous and internationally known, tens of thousands of writers, chefs editors and publishers. You united the whole world, continents, réligions and faiths, languages, customs and traditions. We are united here with the same mission, The goal of our work is to bring to the world a well-being, respect to each other and peace. Thanks to you Monsieur Cointreau, the gastronomy books maintain their position and importance on the shelves of libraries and bookstores as well at homes, despite the competition from the wide choice that the internet offers free.

Avec mes salutations repectueuses

Ahmed Ladarsi, Author, Finland
