Synopsis

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.

In A Woman's Place is in the Kitchen, she draws back the curtain on the good, and bad, and downright ugly of restaurant kitchens; and how they might be changed for the better. A stirring manifesto for change, it's also the story of how a girl from Sheffield who used to cook herself Smash to get by is now one of the most successful fine-dining chefs working today.
