The award was in memory of Philip Harben, the first TV chef in the UK, who also started out as a photographer. A passionate communicator of the art of cooking, he encouraged post-war Britain to regain its enthusiasm for food and cookery. The category invited images of people cooking anywhere and everywhere, whether at home, in professional kitchens, over a campfire, or in a ship's galley.
