A Woman's Place is in the Kitchen: 'Fantastic, exciting deep dive into kitchen life from one of Britain's leading young chefs' (Tom Kerridge) Book

From the star of the Great British Menu, for readers who loved Kitchen Confidential and couldn't tear their eyes away from Boiling Point, a book that reveals the reality of working in restaurant kitchens - and how they need to change for the better. Despite the misogynistic refrain that women 'belong in the kitchen', it's a fact that women make up only 17% of the workforce when it comes to professional chefs. Sally Abé is a woman who upends that norm, having worked everywhere from the Savoy to the Ledbury, and now runs destination restaurant The Pem.
