Vivian Howard is the James Beard Award-winning chef of Chef & The Farmer, a farm-to-table restaurant in Kinston, North Carolina that’s the focus of her PBS series, A Chef’s Life.
Dame Vivian’s book Deep Run Roots won the 2016 IACP (International Association of Cookbook Professionals) in four categories: Cookbook of the Year; Julia Child First Book Award; Chefs and Restaurant Award; and General Award. She was also nominated for the 2017 James Beard Award for American Cooking.
Chef Ed Kenney is the host of the Emmy-winning PBS show Family Ingredients. With four restaurants on Oahu, he has been a James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef, West, every year since 2013. Kenney was an influential champion of the local farm-to-table movement back when it wasn’t part of the culinary norm, fostering the careers of many local chefs who have gone on to make their own mark here in the Islands.
Proceeds from this event go to our Dames who Donate Scholarship
Fund:
It is our Hawaii Chapter’s goal to offer scholarships for education and continuing education grants for mentorships, both locally and abroad, to kamaaina female applicants who are pursuing careers in the food, fine beverage and hospitality industries. These awards range between $500 – $5000 and are based on financial need, achievement, experience, and potential for success in the culinary trade. The Mission of “Dames who Donate” is to promote and inspire local women to dream big and become leaders in their chosen field.
