The 4-Hour Chef Wins — Gourmand Awards “Best in the World” 140 Comments
Greetings from Paris!
I am ecstatic to announce that The 4-Hour Chef has won Best First Cookbook at the 18th Annual “Best in the World” Gourmand World Cookbook Awards (!!!).
26,000+ food and wine books are produced every year, and 8,000+ books from more than 100 countries participate in the Gourmand Awards.
I was at a loss for words on the platform above. I was more surprised than this (see :08 forward).
Thank you to everyone who helped make this book a reality. It was all worth it.
Thank you to my incredible family.
Thank you to my wonderfully supportive girlfriend.
Thank you to every one of you, my dear readers. You’re the reason I keep writing.
Woohoo!
Tim

Hi tim,
Are you going to translate it in French ?
Sincerely,
Julien
David — February 24th, 2013, 1:39 pm
Honestly I don’t think this book has much validity outside of the US. It will be really hard to get some of the ingredients.
I was born in Mexico and I don’t think I could’ve gotten past the third recipe back home.
But what do I know, I’ve never been to France
Alexandre Yazdi — February 24th, 2013, 11:42 pm
Me too, I would love see 4HC translated in French.
It took very long time for the 4HB to be in french version.
This 4HC is so much more than only about cooking, so yes it has great validity outside of US too.
We know you’re very busy Tim, but please make it translate faster than 4HB.
Thanks and Congrats again
Joanna Lo — February 24th, 2013, 8:02 am

Kevin Sterling — February 27th, 2013, 9:27 am
Tim’s a great guy – met him when he gave a talk at the Apple Store in SoHo, NY. There was a line of 100+ people and he stayed an extra hour or more to shake every hand and talk with every single person. I was very impressed.
Martin — February 24th, 2013, 8:10 am
Tim? I think I read in 4HWW some chapter, where you say you’re a bad cook… haha
Martin, from Czech Republic

I must say you’re looking PHYNE in that pic. Either you’ve got a fashionable friend or perhaps you’ve deconstructed fashion? =)

Just inspiring for all of us… Bravo!
And by the way I’m in Paris, and you have a lot of fans here, so even if you stay few hours in Paris, would be glad to say hello and drink some red wine we all know you love
I’ll chek my emails this afternoon in case.
Encore Bravo ! (in French “again congrats”)

Fine work Tim and an award well deserved!
Exciting times!
Did you ever think 10 years ago you’d be an award winning cookbook author?
Tim Ferriss — February 24th, 2013, 11:21 am
Thanks for all the wonderful comments, Kevin and all!
Haha… not in a million years could I ever have imagined it.
Tim
Dennis — February 24th, 2013, 9:07 am
Hey Tim, congrats!! My wife and I are in Paris right now…we are here for 2 months after applying a lot of the cool techniques in 4HWW. I sell real estate in Belize and have found a way to still do it while sipping wine at the finest Cafes in Paris. Thanks Tim, your book changed my life.
Dennis and Stephanie
PS – We are staying in the Latin Quarter just off the Rue Mouffetard. If you are around this way let me know. Would love to buy you a glass (or bottle) of wine. Cheers!

I do not cook. But this made me smile!
Congratulations!!!! Quite the coup!
Doc Kane — February 24th, 2013, 11:32 am
A well-deserved award, Tim – congrats!
EVO — February 24th, 2013, 11:41 am
Heck yeah!!
Tim, the reason this book is truly so much better than all the rest is not that it has better recipes or even better methods per se (although I would argue that these are also top class), but that the art of cooking is presented in a very practical way that is easy to absorb and retain.
Now the only question I have left is…what’s next?
LM — February 24th, 2013, 11:43 am
Toutes mes félicitations!
Profite bien de ton séjour à Paris!

Nice job!
Marc Hirsch — February 24th, 2013, 4:24 pm
I just did the scallop recipe. With The 4 Hour Chef I have turned from totally uncomfortable in the kitchen into a competent cook. Almost all the dishes I have made I will use in my regular repertoire. My wife is thrilled with the break from all our food preparation responsibilities and the quality of the dinners I’ve made. What a blast.
Wing k — February 24th, 2013, 5:36 pm
Cool Tim! Nice Monkey D. Luffy shirt! As a non sequitur, are you more a fan of American comic books or manga?
yrmis — February 24th, 2013, 6:01 pm
You deserve this prize!!! Congratulations mi amigo!
Robert A. — February 24th, 2013, 6:34 pm
That’s awesome Tim!
Very rarely do I smile that much after seeing/hearing about some one win something. But if anyone deserves an award like this, it’s you man. You’re an inspiration to us all.
Rock on!
Sam — February 24th, 2013, 6:41 pm
Congrats Tim!
Vivian Ann Cvetkovic — February 24th, 2013, 7:08 pm
Congratulations Tim. Your book and your numerous insights inspire so many people on different levels.
In particular, my father who is a stoic, opinionated, European 73 year old and over 350lbs has embarked on the 4 hour body. This landed for him immediately. In six weeks he has lost 25 pounds.
For anyone judging this book they can clearly see that it is beyond well thought out and tested. Sure, you, your mind, and body may want to fight it; yet follow the 4 Hour Body and results do follow.
Tim, this is well deserved.
Congratulations and thank you. For not just writing this book but sharing it so openly online. You deserve this kudo.
In the Year of the Snake, and this upcoming 12 year cycle may abundance continue to shower you.
Cheers
Vivi

Bought this book for my brother in law, who is a michelin star chef, as a christmas gift.
He was dubious about the book. Two months later his wife told me it has become his bible in the home, and at work…
Congratulations and can’t wait for your next book…
Michael — February 25th, 2013, 8:00 am
Tim – what are your thoughts on Bulletproof CEO Coffee – for optimizing brain function? Have you tried it for yourself?
Best,
Michael
Alex — February 25th, 2013, 8:16 am
Fantastical Tim! Well deserved, not surprising at all, even if it isn’t really a cookbook!!
Joe Guerra — February 25th, 2013, 8:33 am
Tim Ferriss! So glad to have found you. I believe you would be interested to know that I found you strictly through podcasts. After hearing you on Jay Mohr’s, I chased down the one with Rogan and am fascinated and inspired by your eclectic mixture of valuable data with regards to everything from guerrilla marketing to biohacking to memorization!
Again, much congratulations to you on your success, and genuine hope for it to continue. You are a positive impact on our world and there are many of us out among the masses that appreciate it greatly.
Shawn Buddenahagen — February 25th, 2013, 8:36 am

It is a great book, and the award is truely diserved.

Doug — February 25th, 2013, 10:47 am
Congratulations!
Bask for a while, then once more into the fray!
Might I suggest a book on how to think, metacognition tricks, mental models, and an expanded section on task or problem deconstruction and ways to analyse things from a new direction. I think that skill is the “special sauce” to the sucess of your books. (That and a ton of work)
Victor Heredia — February 25th, 2013, 10:48 am
And this from a guy that once microwaved eggs! lol
Well deserved Mr. Ferriss.

Good luck and hope you start working on the next book pretty soon
Elizabeth Grace Saunders — February 25th, 2013, 2:08 pm
Congrats!! Enjoy the thrill!
With all you’ve accomplished, I imagine it takes quite a bit to give you an “achievement high.” Glad you had this opportunity to summit a new peak.
To your brilliance!
Elizabeth Grace Saunders
Michael — February 25th, 2013, 2:51 pm
It’s good to see Tim Ferriss getting the recognition he deserves. He and his books have completely changed my life for the better. The 4-Hour Chef is definitely the best cookbook of the year.
Thanks Tim,
Michael

RogerK — February 25th, 2013, 4:08 pm
Off topic…. signed up for your Quarterly box, which I received. Your video mentioned a Bio-something that was supposed to be in the box, and it wasn’t. Was there a change of plans? Just me? Contact Quarterly? I did send them an email first, but didn’t know where else I could post this. (is there a “ask tim/cohorts” button somewhere?
Anyway, if this is still moderated, at least you will see it. Thanks,
RogerK — February 26th, 2013, 1:39 pm
Follow up…. the video on Quarterly says the box should contain Biophase protein and Athletic Greens (in addition to the other cool stuff…). Quarterly is saying that it should only contain one or the other, even in the US. That isn’t what the video says- and the note that came in the box says that some non-US customers would receive Biotrust in place of Athletic Greens due to shipping regulations. Methinks there is some confusion going on….. Do we get both like the video says? Or just one of them, and the note didn’t spell it out clearly? And where in tarnation is that “contact Tim & Co.” button so I don’t have to clutter up your congratulations thread?……..
chuck — February 25th, 2013, 4:51 pm
Congratulations. I’m a huge fan of yours having all 3 books now. I already knew how to cook, but your approach to learning always fills me with enthusiasm, and that’s a good thing. Keep up the good work.

Adam — February 26th, 2013, 1:41 pm
Hi Tim!
Just finished reading 4HB and started implementing many of the principles with visible success! Thanks.
Thought I might issue you a challenge!
I am British but living in my wife’s native Sweden. I am soon turning 47 but always been keen on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with the occasional beer or glass of wine.
my challenges of choice have been long distance running, London Marathon 5 times (best time 3:45). Here in Sweden being a land with four distinct seasons there is a competion called “Svenska Klassiker” (Swedish Classics) with consists of four events of a very different nature.
Vasaloppet – 90km cross country skiing. (March)
Vätternrundan – 300km cycling(June)
Vansbrosimmet – 3km swim (in river fed from snow melt) (July)
Lidingöloppet – 30km trail (September)
The trick is to complete the events in an elapsed year (preferably a calendar year).
Given the allround training potential – I thought it might be something that you might like to take on. I have competed in Lidingöloppet 5 times (PB 2:32). But I am yet to try the others – indeed I am yet to stand on cross-country skis.
What do you think? Are you game? We could set it up as a remote challenge. I would love to see you principles put into practice – could be a fun project. Indeed evidence of 4HB’s effectiveness.
let me know what you think

I started the diet a week and a half ago and saw results that I was happy with. However, I am hypoglycemic and did not feel well at all. I started having severe hypoglycemia symptoms and had to stop. Is there a way to modify this diet for my condition and still see the same results.
Thank you.

Hi, Tim. We saw in your book your recipe for “Middle Eastern Eggs” includes the “Optional Pairings” of the eggs and the song “Pa Bailar” from Bajofondo. Just an FYI that the band is releasing a new album on Tuesday – Presente – with more delicious songs!
Glenn — February 28th, 2013, 12:16 pm
I think you missed the really noteworthy part of this post Tim – you wore a suit.
THAT is a world first for the 4 Hour Community.
Mike — February 28th, 2013, 7:21 pm
Hi Tim,
How do you heal your kidneys? I think I have damaged my kidneys or impaired my kidney function. I’m not sure how I’ve done this (maybe protein intake?). Now, anytime I drink any coffee or alcohol I get lower back or flank pain. Is there anything I can do?
Sincerely,
Mike
Nick Stephenson — March 1st, 2013, 10:17 am
Tim – quick tip on posting Amazon links that automatically detect a user’s country and sends them to the right Amazon site: http://viewbook.at/
you might notice, after clicking your links any user not in the US has to manually go to their own country’s Amazon site, and then manually search for your books. This website handles all that for you, and sends them right to the correct sales page.
Enjoy!

Marry the girl. You’re overdue. Marriage will increase productivity cause you’ll have to get out of the house more!
Plus, you need to hack having children.

Hi Tim, i need a little guidance, i would like to adapt the slow carb diet for the mexican market, since many things you recommend cant be easily found here (like kombucha or PAGG) but also we can find many things that suppusedly help control sugar levels (prickly pear plants), how should i go about finding replacements and testing/experimenting with avaliable things (im seriously considering eating garlic cloves and sencha green tea by the spoonful)
Luis — March 3rd, 2013, 12:31 am
Ha! Tim’s wearing a Luffy t-shirt in the video, how awesome is that?
Congrats for the achievement, Tim!

Hell yeah man!! Keep writing, please! You’re probably the most inspirational influence I’ve ever had in my life. I appreciate all of your work, and the energy the has developed in my life as a result of reading your books and trying to put them into action. Take care and God bless man!
Akshay Nanavati — March 4th, 2013, 8:28 am
Congratulations Tim. Awesome! really happy for you. I love how you have expanded into so many different niches and dominate in each one of them. What makes it even more amazing is that you prove through your humility and graciousness that this is possible for anyone. Like you have said it is more than possible to be a jack of all trades and a master of many. Having said that, do you think one should focus intently on becoming a master at one trade before moving to the next? I get that you have done many things in your life, but it seems like you devoted much of your being to the mastery of work, then body, then food in that sequence, so did one occur independently of the other? Once each book was released/thousands and thousands of books sold/mastery is achieved, then do you move on to the next? Should a person devote every inch of their being to the mastery of one art, write a book on it (I firmly believe everyone should write a book, if only to learn more, because I find the writing process is not just to teach others but to teach yourself as well), then move to the next one?
Thanks for creating possibility Tim!

Hey Tim
I have heard many times that taking Vitamin C helps burn fat. I am on SCD right now. I am 6’2″ and weigh 272 lbs (started at month ago at 287 lbs). I was thinking of getting powdered vitamin C. How much dosage would you recommend?

Hi Tim. I was wondering if you would be following up on your dietbet challenge? Where the prize was lunch in SF for first place? I have not heard anything about submissions yet.
Thanks
Alan — March 6th, 2013, 8:38 pm
Congratulations!, being a first timer has it’s benefits
Love all your work too.
If you do end up reading this yourself, I do have one question?
I am not bad at building businesses and can currently make about 20k a month and I am alway trying new ideas, but I can’t seem to get the right people around me? Too many get interested when starting out and end up being lazy and not doing the work required or just rely on me to do everything. Any pointers?
I dont have the courage to disappear just yet haha.
Jonathan — March 6th, 2013, 8:51 pm
Tim,
I’m so happy for your success and glad to have a very small part of it. Keep it up! Your material rocks! (4HWW, 4HB and 4HC) Thanks for giving the small guys hope to make their dreams come true with laser focused action and testing.
Thanks again.
marc — March 6th, 2013, 9:03 pm

Woohoo! Congratulations! I am not surprised at all. Your book surpasses every cookbook I’ve ever used.

WOW! Congratulations Tim, you deserve it! I never cooked before, nor fully understood the joy I could be experiencing in my mouth, until I started reading 4HC. I’m almost finished with “The Domestic” section of the book and feel like my life has changed. Never have I seen a cookbook perfect the art of teaching so well.
You Rock Brother!!

Go, Tim! Keep bringing your own, crazy brand of genius. You’ve helped so many people already, can’t wait to see what you do next!

Congrats Tim!
And glad you were successful with Amazon publishing. Good for both of you!

Hi Tim,
“If you think you can do it, or if you think you cannot do it … you are always right!” Once more you are a bit more right than the others. Congratulations, Tom

Tim, a few weeks ago I was browsing through all of your posts and saw one titled: “Go from writing 2,000 words a day to 10,000,” something along those lines. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate this blog. Was it taken down from a lack of credibility? Your work has been great my friend, a great inspiration to say the very least. Keep it up, and keep doing big things. Thanks for the passion, and commitment, that you have put into all of your work. There for a while I thought I was going to have to convince the people of the world to think in a new way. Lucky for me you have already done that.

Dear Tim:
Your have been an amazing guider after I read your books. I study only 3 days every week from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm and am the Top 2 student in my prestigious university KUL. Thx to you.
I have questions about study and implementing the steps in the book “The 4-hour work week”. What can I do to make you feel great and repond my question? Your help means a great deal to me.

Well done Tim!! You’re such a great inspiration.

Hey Tim!
Congratulations, another well-deserved achievement. I loved the book (actually found my tweet to you on your site under ’4-Hour Chef’ hype, which made my day, ha thanks for that.)
You’ve inspired me to start blogging, pursue a new rich lifestyle, and carry on with my joy of learning plenty new things. 4-hour chef has properly helped me stick to plans. Using stakes is my personal favorite for new habit formation.
Cheers Tim! Keep up the great work!

Congrats Tim. Lookin’ real dapper in that suit (it’s the first time I’ve seen you dressed up).
Andrew Guinn — March 8th, 2013, 10:29 am
Congrats Tim. You defiantly desire lots of recognition on your books. I really enjoy reading your materials.( I have read all three books and, I am subscribed to your blog,twitter, etc. NO not a stalker, I think your really cool!) Your writings are very inspiring but, most of all I like putting to work the things that you cover in your books. It is some of the most condensed, informative and well-rounded material that I have ever read. Thanks and keep up the good work. Keep safe and healthy along your way.
Andrew

Congrats! We all know you put in a lot of hard work. I was checking out your notes/edits in the 4HC torrent pack yesterday — the attention to detail is what makes your writing great. You deserve it.
Ryan Baker — March 11th, 2013, 2:23 pm
Congratulations! I was going to say that I could have told everyone months ago that it was the best first cookbook, but then I remembered that the Gourmand awards have a little more sway… But seriously, this book is amazing! A fitting end to the Four Hour Trilogy.
Andrew — March 15th, 2013, 8:41 am
Congrats Tim. I continue to wish you the best for your career. You’re books and blog are a tremendous help for all aspects of living in this day and age. Keep shining.
Andrew

I love this whole concept and truly believe it works. It just one thing,
I’m one of those people who made a huge mistake in business and loss everything. Bank accts. home, etc. was left with about $100 in savings.
Now I want to start all over but funds are so tight, just can’t seem to get above water. I have a website with one product. but it slow because everything takes cash.
One day I would like someone to write a book on how to really start over
and they have been successful at it. All the books I read tell you how to
take your retirement money or your saving and go from there.
I have to take small amount of money ($200-$500) to make things work after I pay what little bills I have to keep cover over my head and eat.
So, trying to get VA’s and set up inventory has been slow. Tim, I know you are not reading this but if you could have your VA to sent me a email maybe you have some advise!!
Joshua C — March 15th, 2013, 2:06 pm
Congrats, you deserve it. I haven’t been this excited about a cook book in awhile. Hope you keep making more wonderful books. You’re one of a handful of non-fiction authors that writes anything meaningful. Thanks and good luck in the future!
Joanne — March 17th, 2013, 6:42 pm
Congratulations. I’m still reading my copy, cover to cover. I have to say its a first with a cookbook for me. I’m usually looking at pictures and picking out what I like and reading those recipes. I highly suspect I’m not unusual either. I also enjoy the fact that your book comes off like manual for cooking. Great stuff.
Stuart — March 19th, 2013, 3:19 pm
Congrats Tim! Very well deserved. I’m a 23 yr old “bro”-type and show all my bros and girlfriends my first cookbook. Bet there’s not too many other cook books out there that can claim that.
Also congrats to myself and everyone else who bought the book, you chose the best one!
Wes L. — March 20th, 2013, 10:10 am
That is insane! I have been following you for years and have all your books and this award for a 4 hour chef is a SLAP IN THE FACE to all the critics!
Alamo — March 26th, 2013, 5:00 pm
Hi Tim!
I want to buy the four hour chef in english (I live in Spain), but amazon.co.uk won´t send it to Spain.
I already have the four hour work week in spanish, the extended edition in english and the four hour body in english, I want to buy your last book but I can´t, what shall I do?
Your books changed my life, if you send me a signed copy of your last book I´ll be the happiest man in Spain! And you´ll have a Tourist guide in Seville anytime!
Thanks!
Sebastian — April 9th, 2013, 9:29 am
Great book Tim!
Can you PLEASE also let it be translated into Swedish? Or at least translate to metric measurement system (liters, kilos, meters etc). Much easier for us Europeans to follow
Keep up the amazing work!
Christoph Dollis — April 16th, 2013, 1:34 am
That’s freaking awesome, man.
Congratulations. I haven’t bought this book, but it looks like I’m going to want to.
Julia Marchi — April 19th, 2013, 12:07 pm
Tim, we’re big fans here and would love a reference from you for a speaker/coach that can work with a small group of our media buyers to tackle issues like overcoming objections, seeing obsticles as opporutnities, building confidence, etc. Thanks much!

Hi I really want to know when the Book The 4-Hour chef will be available in French ?
Thank You
