event with special guest Martha Stewart


An environmentally friendly networking event for members of Les Dames d'Escoffier, Women Chefs & Restaurateurs and the New York Women's Culinary Alliance held at Astor Center, NY's premiere "green" facility for culinary education.
"I've always found that if you ask you can find, and if you find, you can learn. Over the years I've had the opportunity to meet, cook with and learn from so many extraordinary women who share my devotion to food that looks as good as it tastes. Growing my own fresh vegetables, plucking eggs from under my laying hens and developing so many delicious recipes with the incredible cooks in the kitchens at our company is a way of life for me," said Ms. Stewart.
