HEG alumni wins the Gourmand Cookbook Award   August 2011

Sibel Cuniman Pinto, an HEG 2008 graduate, has won the Gourmand Cookbook Award 2010 in the category of Best Culinary History Cookbook in Germany for her book The Evolution of the Sephardic Cuisine in Turkey - Five Centuries of Survival. Sibel's book was initially the thesis she worked on during her studies at Hautes Etudes du Goût. We are very happy for Sibel. This shows that an HEG thesis can have the chance to go far ahead and lead to a new series of activities and professional fulfillment. Congratulations, Sibel!
