James Beard was a passionate champion of female cooks. Many of the women he supported, like Julia Child, M.F.K. Fisher, and Alice Waters, went on to become some of the most legendary figures in American food.
In honor of the accomplishments of women in our industry, the theme of the 2013 James Beard Foundation Gala is Women in Whites.
