Welcome to Les Dames d'Escoffier Des Moines Chapter
We help women in food, beverage, and hospitality industries succeed, while promoting and enhancing sustainable food systems, and working to ensure food security to all people.
Membership includes restaurateurs, chefs, caterers, nutritionists, retailers, magazine editors, marketers, and more.
Come by and say hello, we gather regularly to share food and sisterhood, brainstorm ideas, and have a whole lot of fun.
Take advantage of our scholarship programs or events to raise awareness and help fund local causes.

For more than 35 years, the women of Les Dames d’Escoffier have nurtured the careers of women seeking to enter the culinary, hospitality, and related communications disciplines – or assist those already in these fields who wish to continue their professional training and education.
