# Our favourite top Canadian female chefs

We at Tasco love the kitchen, we love the kitchen so much we made a business out of it. We would like to take a moment to shine the spotlight on some women who were able to take their love of the kitchen and turn it into a career. These leaders have made and impact on the national and the international stage, taking their culinary talents and showing us all what an inspiration they are.
