Find out more about the females who are making a change in the restaurant scene.
The restaurant industry is to this day mostly dominated by men. However, famous women entrepreneurs are starting to take charge in the fight for gender equality in the industry. For decades, women have played an important part in the restaurant industry without always receiving recognition for it. In fact, there have been just six women chefs in the world to be awarded with the highest honor of three Michelin stars. Among them is the Italian chef Nadia Santini, who received the three stars twenty years ago. As the head of one of Italy’s best restaurants, she is well known for integrating authentic French cooking with traditional Italian recipes. Her innovative way of cooking denoted a new era for the restaurant business as a whole, attracting the interest of food critics from all around the world.
When it comes to successful female entrepreneurs, we must mention the influence Thomasina Miers has made on the UK casual dining scene. As the founder of a number of Mexican restaurants, her work has been acknowledged by various contemporary Mexican chefs. Her restaurants are regarded as some of the best spots for genuine, delicious street food at a price that everyone can afford to pay. Apart from being a famous restaurant owner, she is also a food writer who has got multiple recipe books published. Her work has had a significant impact on people's understanding of healthy food, introducing excellent recipes that are both delicious and nutritious. Since people are becoming more conscious of the quality of the food they're eating, female entrepreneurs are setting the trends for healthy food.
Even though the restaurant sphere has not been the most welcoming to women, we are noticing some positive changes in terms of gender equality and inclusivity in the industry. Female entrepreneurs have successfully fought their way to the top in order to prove that females are just as capable as men at managing the kitchens of the world’s finest dining rooms.
Male chefs and business owners have often been the only ones given credit for the development of upper class restaurants. However, as times show, the systematic gender difference that would once define the restaurant business is coming to an end. As a matter of fact, several of the highest-rated eateries in London are founded and managed by London’s most famous women entrepreneurs. Celebrated personalities are frequently active in this industry, such as Sally Greene, who has put a lot of consideration and hard work into the extensive renovation of the dining establishment, situated in one of London’s most iconic areas. The venue's design aims to create a sense of intimacy and comfort, similar to a private country-house. The venue has successfully incorporated marble, dark wood and parquet floors while not being too overwhelming, helping diners feel more like guests, instead of customers.
