Several women are preparing a special meal highlighting female chefs and farmers in Hawai‘i. In the male-dominated restaurant industry, women tend to be under-represented, especially when you consider leadership positions like executive chefs and restaurant owners. But as HPR’s Molly Solomon reports that may be changing…slowly.
You can find more information on the event, "Cool Women, Hot Food, #MakeItHappen" here. The event takes place tonight, Monday March 2 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at Cookspace Hawaii. For more information, call 695-2205.
