The Women in Food & Drink Aotearoa New Zealand Awards have highlighted the chefs, producers, educators and entrepreneurs shaping the country's food culture.
The awards celebrate women across the food and drink industry. Categories and recognition span hospitality, production, education and leadership.
The awards help make visible the people behind New Zealand's food scene.
Industry awards matter when they do more than hand out trophies; they tell the public who is building the future of food in New Zealand.
The key question is how the industry continues to back the leaders the awards highlight.
