Les Dames d’Escoffier International is a philanthropic organisation and professional network supporting women across the food, beverage and hospitality industries worldwide.

Our members are chefs, writers, producers, educators, restaurateurs, makers and leaders united by generosity, shared values and a belief in the power of community.

Through grants, scholarships and programmes of support, we invest directly in women and help build stronger, more connected communities. LDEI is more than a network it’s a place to exchange ideas, share knowledge, celebrate success and champion one another.
