Lady Chef Wire

Clare Smyth, the head chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and Britain's first female chef to hold three Michelin stars, talks to the Guardian: "Restaurant kitchens are testosterone-driven. It's a tough world; the hours are bad and the conditions are harsh. But the atmosphere changes when there's a girl in the kitchen - it's nicer... Having a woman in the kitchen makes the men think about how to behave." [Guardian]
