August marks the middle of our winter, the perfect time to be in a warm kitchen trying out new recipes and, most importantly, it’s Women’s Month.
This month is an important time where we can remember to give women the extra attention they deserve and acknowledge the amazing strides they are making. And one industry that women are using to take the world by storm just happens to be the food industry. In celebration of Women’s Month, we want to salute some of our favourite female foodies that have taken over the kitchen with great flair. Foodies from all over the nation are sharing their own experiences and expertise with food.
