1992, MFK Fisher personally gave her permission to Les Dames d’Escoffier
International to present an award in her name.

This award is given to women writers whose published works reflect creativity and
insight, and illuminate the pivotal roles of food, beverages, the arts of the table or
contribute to our knowledge of those who grow, produce or prepare nourishment.
