Tasting Kitchen (TK) has received double honours from the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) 2018 Editorial Awards for its excellence in magazine design and that in photography.
The Asia's leading epicurean lifestyle and travel magazine announced this in a Media OutReach-sent statement on Thursday.
This marks the fourth year in which TK has been recognised, with a total of eight awards, by the region's most highly regarded publishing prize.
TK Art Director Alicia Beebe, who received the Excellence in Magazine Design award, one of the two honours, helped launch Tasting Kitchen.
"Design is never a solo endeavor," said Beebe, who is the creative force behind the publication's distinctive design ethos of bold simplicity, clean lines, and elegant understatement.
TK Director of Photography David Hartung was awarded Honorable Mention for Excellence in Photography for his work in "Wynning Combination" (TK31).
His series for "Ageless River" (TK32) was also among the three finalists for the excellence in photography.
In "Wynning Combination," Hartung demonstrates his talent for portraiture, the statement mentioned.
In the opening group shot, Hartung effectively conveys the congenial interplay among a band of professional colleagues who are also good friends, it added.
"We see the humor and camaraderie among these men," commented the SOPA judges.
"Each photo stands on its own, as a profile of the chef with his favorite tool or ingredient, and the photos work together as a body of artwork."
