Evidence note (master store)
James Beard Foundation (tier 1/2 for its own awards): Diasporican: A Puerto Rican Cookbook by Illyanna Maisonet (Ten Speed Press) won the 2023 James Beard Book Award for Emerging Voice. The same page states the 2023 Book Awards covered books 'published in the United States in 2022' — so the stored year '2023' is the AWARD year, not the publication year (see corrections). Publisher confirms 90+ recipes and memoir/culinary-research character, as stored
