Princess’ cook book wins Swede award

A Cambodian cookbook and culinary guide, originally published in 1960 by Princess Norodom Rasmi Sobbhana, has won a prestigious ‘Special Award of the Jury’ in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2022 held in Euma, Sweden. The book, titled ‘The Culinary Art of Cambodia,’ was funded and republished in May last year in an augmented edition by Siem Reap’s Templation Angkor Resort as part of its corporate social responsibility programme.

On hand to receive the award in Sweden was Templation’s general manager, Somonea Cheng.

Bernard Cohen, founder of Angkor Database, which spearheaded the book project and provided historical research and background, says all involved in the book are “proud and honoured” for the recognition from the Gourmand Awards which were launched in 1995 by Edouard Cointreau, an ancestor of the famous French writer Rabelais, and an heir of the Cointreau family.
