Shownotes

“Regarding Her is celebrating Women’s History Month this March with its 5th annual festival designed to support women-owned and led food and beverage businesses in Los Angeles. The festival is a vibrant celebration honoring the remarkable achievements of women shaping the food and beverage industry.”

“Ayara Thai in the Westchester area of Los Angeles is hosting a one-day brunch event (NumHERology, Mixology and Thai Gastronomy) on Sunday, March 30th at 11:30 a.m. celebrating women, food, and hope in support of Regarding Her Food! Sisters Chef Vanda and Chef Cathy Asapahu will curate an auspicious menu while guests will enjoy cocktails, mocktails, Thai, and wisdom from a professional numerologist. They’ll leave with full bellies and full hearts, understanding what their personal numerology means for the year ahead.”

“Due to the devastating impact of the Los Angeles wildfires, Masters of Taste (Chef Vanda has been a featured Culinary Master in the past) has made the difficult decision to postpone the highly anticipated 8th Annual Masters of Taste event. However, in the spirit of resilience, generosity, and community, Masters of Taste is proud to introduce Generous Plates – A Benefit for Union Station Homeless Services, a one-night-only premier dining experience set to take place on Sunday, April 6th, 2025, in the iconic Locker Rooms at the Historic Pasadena Rose Bowl!”

“This exclusive event will offer guests an intimate and immersive dining experience featuring Two Exquisite Five-Course Tasting Menus created by some of Los Angeles’ most celebrated Culinary Masters, including Chef Vanda of Ayara Thai. Accompanied by premier selections of Spirits, Cocktails, Wine, Beer, and Non-Alcoholic Beverages from top-tier Beverage Masters, and Delectable Desserts from L.A.’s top Sweet Masters, this night promises to be an unparalleled culinary journey.”
