From Library Journal
This excellent book by the executive chef at the Putney Inn in Putney, Vermont, examines the role of women in the male-dominated professional kitchen. Surveying 500 women chefs, Cooper covers the reasons they became chefs, sacrifices made, challenges faced, mentoring, goals, success, and the future of women in the culinary world. She also relates culinary history, defines positions, discusses training, and gives information on owning a restaurant?some of which can be found in other sources such as Andrew Dornburg's Becoming a Chef (LJ 8/95). Cooper's well-researched book includes her survey questions, short biographies of women chefs, and descriptions of professional organizations. Inspirational, fascinating reading for anyone?female or male?considering a culinary career, this may also interest women's studies scholars. Highly recommended for career and cookery collections.
