female chefs

Hard work and dedication have led to success for these Mexican and Venezuelan chefs.

Being a female chef in the culinary world is no easy feat. So, what keeps them going, and how do they rise to the top? We asked female chefs leading MICHELIN Star restaurants in Thailand to spill their best-kept secrets.

Despite the fact that cooking has been seen primarily as a female duty for centuries, it is an unfortunate irony that cuisine, and especially refined cuisine continues to be considered a male exclusive profession. Female chefs still have to exert harder work compared to their male counterparts in order to achieve a similar level of success and regard. However, as is the case in the rest of the world, plenty of female chefs in Istanbul have proven themselves and achieved the recognition they deserve. And they all reflect their own personalities and signature styles in their cuisines.

Long hours, high pressure and facing the heat on a hot stove are common, but these dynamite chefs show they have what it takes to power through and get to the top.

They overcame poverty, cancer and self-doubt to pursue their passion for the food business. We celebrate their stories.
