The winner will be announced on May 3 at Gotham Hall in New York City.

Established in 1990, the awards recognize excellence and achievement among culinary professionals and writers in the U.S. and Canada.

Barbour had previously been nominated in 2009 for the foundation’s MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award for her work at O: The Oprah Magazine.
