Les Dames d'Escoffier International is an organization of
professional women in the fields of food, fine beverage, and hospitality.
The members are dedicated to supporting and promoting the achievement
of women in the arts of the table and fostering excellence through educational
and charitable activities.
Since its founding in 1984, the Dallas Chapter has grown to over 60 active
members and has donated over $600,000.00 in endowments, scholarships,
and grants. Our first endowment of $5,000.00 was to the culinary program
at El Centro, one of the Dallas County Community Colleges. With money
raised from our annual fund raiser, the Dallas Chapter of LDEI now has
$387,000.00 in permanent endowments, supports a fine beverage library
at El Centro, and annually awards money to diverse projects that support
the goals of our organization.
