IBPA’s 29th Annual Benjamin Franklin Awards Finalist: Eating Well Through Cancer
When I received an email from the prestigious IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards, my heart dropped. I entered the newly, updated cookbook, Eating Well Through Cancer in two categories for this award. This is the 20th Annual IBPA Awards for Excellence in Book Publishing for the calendar year 2016. I entered my best cancer cookbook in two different categories. They are Cookbook Category and the Health and Fitness Category. There were close to 1400 entrees and each category had three or four finalists. There are 55 categories for a total of 169 finalists. Eating Well Through Cancer was selected as a finalist in BOTH categories! WOW! What an honor for Gerald Miletello, MD and myself! Most importantly, this cancer cookbook helps so many people. Hopefully, now more people will know about it. Find the book in your local bookstores or online.
