JULIA IN PARIS Gala Dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel (hosted by Les Dames d’Escoffier, BC Chapter in honour of Julia Child’s 100th Birthday)
I love the work that Les Dames d’Escoffier do, particularly because I’m a big supporter of women and in particular, professional women who support other women as well. Call me a feminist if you want.
