Bart van Olphen and Tom Kime scooped top prize for Fish Tales in the category ‘Best Sustainable Food Book in the World’ at the Gourmand World Cookbook Award in Paris.
Their book, published by Kyle Cathie in conjunction with the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), highlights sustainable fisheries and the coastal communities they support. The book also inspires readers to get cooking with sustainable seafood, with Tom Kime’s delicious recipes, beautifully photographed.
The fisheries featured in Fish Tales have all been certified against the MSC environmental standard for sustainable fishing. Products originating from these fisheries are eligible to bear the blue MSC ecolabel, telling customers that the seafood they are choosing is traceable to a well-managed, sustainable source.
Bart van Olphen became interested in sourcing sustainable seafood as a seafood entrepreneur in Amsterdam, and, in 2007, his store Fishes became the first retailer in Europe to be certified against the MSC Chain of Custody traceability standard. Tom Kime is an internationally-renowned chef, with a personal mission to use his love of food and fine cooking to educate consumers about sustainability.
Accepting the award, Bart and Tom said: "It’s great news that we won this award. We can’t think of better confirmation that sustainable ways of fishing, responsible human consumption and haute cuisine go together very well. Our respect and gratitude go out to the MSC certified fisheries and fishermen that made this book possible."
