Savor Santa Barbara – Waterfront to Wine Country has been named the winner of the 14th Annual TABASCO® Community Cookbook Award – Western Region.
The announcement was made by Paul C.P. McIlhenny, President and CEO of the McIlhenny Corporation.

One judge noted that this book is "harmonious in design, from its introduction by best-selling author Sue Grafton, to it's beautiful photography and art work, to its instructional sidebars." The cuisine is representative of California cooking and has recipes such as Huevos Picante, Spicy Beer Bread, Pumpkin Chicken Chowder, Yams with Praline Topping, Guadalupe Flank Steak and Sweet Lemon Avocado Pie to highlight its attention to the traditional with its bold experimentation.

By honoring our cookbook, Tabasco and the McIlhenny Corporation acknowledges the contribution ASSISTANCE LEAGUE® of Santa Barbara is making to preserve our American, regional and local culinary customs while benefiting the Santa Barbara Community though our many philanthropic projects.

Proceeds fund the expansion, update and improvement of the Assistance League facilities.
