Diana Madaras celebrates the subtle, natural beauty of ordinary scenes in a way that is both intense and dramatic. She paints in both watercolor and acrylic and has a diverse portfolio, from brilliant desert landscapes to expressionistic portraits. Much in demand for commissioned artwork, Madaras has completed paintings for Westin, Loews, and Miraval resorts. She also has created eight paintings for the estate of the former President of Mexico. Her painting, The Blues at Old Main, was commissioned for the cover of the University of Arizona alumni magazine, and her art has appeared on the covers of 6 other magazines, including Art Book of the West and Tucson Lifestyle Magazine. 

Diana is very active in community service, and her art has benefited more than 100 charities. Before opening her art galleries, Diana operated a high-profile sports marketing company in Tucson, promoting major sporting events including LPGA and PGA golf tournaments. A month-long painting trip to Greece in 1993 changed her life, prompting her to sell her marketing company and devote her career to painting. She has since been voted Tucson’s Best Visual Artist 9 times.

GUESTS:

Mary Steiger, Co-Owner / Chef
5845 N Oracle Rd, Tucson, AZ 85704
(520) 408-9000
gourmet.girls@live.com

Home

Mary attended the prestigious Scottsdale Culinary Institute, graduating valedictorian of her class. She worked as a pastry chef in a variety of high-end venues, managed several large retail bakeries, and owned and operated a bed and breakfast. With her business partner Susan, Mary began developing gluten-free recipes to make delicious, allergy-friendly food available to more Tucsonans. They began selling their products at local farmer’s markets and developed a loyal following. They successfully launched their restaurant, Gourmet Girls Gluten Free Bakery/Bistro, in 2011. Mary can frequently be found doing local fundraising events to give back to the community.

Rebecca believes that being gluten-free shouldn’t mean that your food tastes bad or is super expensive. She and her husband created Dedicated Gluten-Free Bakery & Coffee Shop to serve the community, and they are proud to share their delicious baked treats with their fellow GF’ers! Dedicated has a line of retail products available, and they supply restaurants and special events with a wide assortment of items. They continually strive for innovation, yet they’re still making their creations the way grandma made them.

Sigret Thompson, Co-Owner / Chef

Sigret has been passionate about cooking since she was a child. But it didn’t become more than a hobby until her early 20s, after she began working in the food and hospitality industry. She moved around the globe, spending time in New York, London, and Sydney, and expanded her reach as a personal trainer. In 2011, Thompson and her sister, Keanne, jumped at an opportunity to enter the catering business. Less than a year later, they opened a full restaurant offering an exclusively vegetarian menu.

The Panel Roundtable 

1. Food plays such a huge role in our sense of memory. To this day, the smell of onion slowly cooking in butter on the stove will instantly transport me to my Mom’s kitchen. I know when she starts a pan of that golden goodness that something delicious is coming our way. ​Are there particular food rituals or dishes from your childhood that inspired your love of cooking? Mary, I’ll start with you.
2. As a business coach, I find myself chanting “You can sell to anyone, but who you market to should be specific. What your Ideal Client wants should be guiding your decisions.” I think some business owners shy away from being specific because they think they’re missing out on revenue. Yet each of you started a restaurant very much on your own terms and with a specific niche market in mind.​ I’m curious how each of you came to your respective concepts and whether you had any doubts about how they would be received. Sigret, I’ll start with you.
3. Women still only make up around 21% of all head chefs. What’s frequently discussed is the difference between how women are perceived as domestic cooks versus professional chefs. Women chefs are managing a typically male-dominated staff under fast-paced and competitive circumstances. Sometimes people don’t always know how to interact with feminine energy in a leadership role. I know some women leaders feel like if they are calm and courteous, things don’t always get done. But if they become more aggressive, they either see results, experience resentment, or sometimes both. ​Have you ever struggled with feeling like you have to alter your personality to be a chef, or to be respected by your staff? Rebecca, I’ll start with you.
