Karen Page

"The food world's leading experts on flavor affinities."
--Greg Morago, Houston Chronicle

"It's not easy taking on the culinary world's biggest questions, but Karen Page and her husband Andrew Dornenburg seem to enjoy the work."
--Rachel Wharton, New York Daily News

"If you look on any professional chef's bookshelf, chances are that Page and Dornenburg's books are going to be there, battered and bruised, coffee stained and taped together at the spine. Why this place of pride? Because these books contain the most useful culinary lists ever assembled."
--Michael Natkin, Herbivoracious.com

Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg are authors of THE FOOD LOVER'S GUIDE TO WINE (Little, Brown; Nov. '11), which was honored in March 2012 at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in Paris as "Best in the World" in its category and in April 2012 as a Nautilus Book Award winner. It is also a Finalist for the 2012 James Beard Book Award, and for the 2012 IACP Book Award. THE FOOD LOVER'S GUIDE TO WINE was named the "#1 Wine Book of 2011" based on 195 year-end "Best of" lists (including those of the Chicago Tribune, Huffington Post, LA Weekly, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, San Francisco Chronicle, Vancouver Sun, and the Wall Street Journal) compiled by the website EatYourBooks. Popular wine blogger Tom Wark of Fermentation described it as "The best wine book I'd laid my eyes on in a very long time...Original...Enlightening and entertaining."

The couple co-authored the bestselling book THE FLAVOR BIBLE, winner of both the 2009 James Beard Book Award for Best Book: Reference and Scholarship and the 2010 Nautilus Book Award. It was featured on both "Today" and "Good Morning America" as one of the year's best cookbooks, as well as in an eight-page feature in Oprah Winfrey's O magazine. In 2011, THE FLAVOR BIBLE was named by Forbes columnist Alex Munipov as one of the "10 Best Cookbooks in the World" of the past century.

Their book WHAT TO DRINK WITH WHAT YOU EAT was named the 2007 International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) "Cookbook of the Year" and Georges Duboeuf "Wine Book of the Year" as well as winner of a Gourmand World Cookbook Award. An iPhone app based on the book is available on iTunes.

Page and Dornenburg's other titles, which have cumulatively sold hundreds of thousands of copies, include BECOMING A CHEF, winner of the 1996 James Beard Book Award for Best Writing on Food; CULINARY ARTISTRY, a favorite of professional chefs and serious home cooks globally and the first known reference on flavor compatibility; DINING OUT, a 1999 Finalist for both the IACP and James Beard Awards and a winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Award; CHEF'S NIGHT OUT, named the year's #1 book on FabulousFoods.com; and THE NEW AMERICAN CHEF, a 2004 IACP Cookbook Award Finalist.
