KEO films has been nominated in three categories at this year’s Guild Of Food Writers Awards.
The winners will be announced on Wednesday (30 May) at London’s Fishmongers Hall.
Hugh’s Fish Fight and Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem on a Plate go head to head for the Food Broadcast of the Year award, while Hugh’s anti-discard campaign is shortlisted for the Derek Cooper Award for Campaigning and Investigative Food Writing or Broadcasting.
Jerusalem on a Plate completes the set in the Kate Whiteman Award for Work on Food and Travel category, competing against Fresh One’s Two Greedy Italians and In at the Deep End: Cooking Fish Venice to Tokyo by Jake Tilson.
Ottolenghi has also been nominated for the Evelyn Rose Award for Cookery Journalist of the Year award.
The Guild of Food Writers was founded 28 years ago.
It is the professional association of food and cookery writers, journalists, broadcasters and editors in the UK and abroad, with a membership numbering over 400.
The awards, which are the most prestigious in the field of food writing and broadcasting, showcase the very best of the industry and are fiercely competed for.
Meanwhile on the same night, Hugh goes up against Jamie Oliver and Caroline Lucas for The Observer Campaigner of the Year.
The Observer Ethical Awards are now in their seventh year of celebrating the projects, businesses, ideas, campaigns and activists making sustainable change a reality.
