A group of six local women have formed an organization with the goal of recognizing women in the food industry, especially for those in leadership positions. “Shining a consistent spotlight on them and highlighting them in the community is worthwhile,” says Pineapple founder Ariel Pasternak. “There are so many layers, and that’s the beauty of the food world. You can’t do this alone, and in creating a community, we can know each other and support one another.” Events, all open to the public, have included a “Food in America” series that highlights underrepresented cuisines in the U.S, such as the Pakistani food from Maryam Jillani, founder of the local blog “Pakistan Eats.”
