Women in gastronomy

Women in gastronomy refers to the influential role women play in the culinary world, from chefs and restaurateurs to food critics and researchers. Historically underrepresented, women have historically faced barriers but have increasingly gained recognition for their creativity, leadership, and contributions to food culture. Their presence helps diversify perspectives, innovate culinary traditions, and shape the future of how we experience and appreciate food. Today, women continue to break glass ceilings, advocating for equality and enriching gastronomy with their unique talents and voices.
