Amanda looked just right in an off-kilter Thakoon dress to celebrate her cover on Gotham magazine. Her black-patent shoes with a baby tie are adorable and her woven clutch provides further depth. She let the dress shine with minimal jewelry, but played with her makeup colors and messy hair. Congrats cover girl!

The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) are gathered in New York for their annual week-long conference. Last night, ceremony emcee (and Cooking Channel's Food(ography) host) Mo Rocca announced which finalists took home the top nod of best cookbooks of 2012.

Among the winners: Nathan Myhrvold's standout Modernist Cuisine, New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik's essay on eating, The Table Comes First, and New Orleans chef John Besh's My Family Table for the category of Children, Youth, and Family. Perhaps most notable? The fact that an Indian cookbook (Tasting India by Christine Manfield) took home the award of Cookbook of the Year - a signal that American home cooks are finally ready to tackle the lesser-known frontier of Indian cuisine.
