Though women enter France’s culinary professions at higher rates
than ever, men still receive the lion’s share of the major awards
and Michelin stars. Rachel E. Black looks at the experiences of
women in Lyon to examine issues of gender inequality in France’s
culinary industry. Known for its female-led kitchens, Lyon provides
a unique setting for understanding the gender divide, as Lyonnais
women have played a major role in maintaining the city’s culinary
heritage and its status as a center for innovation. Voices from
history combine with present-day interviews and participant
observation to reveal the strategies women use to navigate
male-dominated workplaces or, in many cases, avoid men in kitchens
altogether. Black also charts how constraints imposed by French
culture minimize the impact of #MeToo and other reform-minded
movements. Evocative and original, Cheffes de
Cuisine celebrates the successes of women inside the
professional French kitchen and reveals the obstacles women face in
the culinary industry and other male-dominated professions.
