There's an exciting buzz going on in the Spatulatta office. We were just nominated for the 2008 James Beard Awards! This is our third straight year to receive recognition for the excellent work we do. In 2006, we won the James Beard Award for best webcast and it gives us all a great deal of satisfaction to know that we're still one of the three nominees, in spite of the fact the competition gets tougher every year.

Congratulations goes to the whole Spatulatta team!
Liv and Belle Gerasole - Hosts
Gaylon Emerzian and Heidi Umbhau - Producers
John Scott - Editor
Jamey B, David B and Cat at Your Plan B Webdesign
Marcus Farne - Marketing

Also, a HUGE thank you to all the guest chefs who have appeared on Spatulatta or have emailed us their favorite recipes. We appreciate all that you've contributed!
