Question

May a woman who lit Shabbat candles half an hour before sunset eat and drink until sunset?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

As soon as she has accepted Shabbat upon herself, eating and drinking become forbidden to her. 

Since from that moment the obligation of Kiddush immediately applies to her.
