Deborah A Harris, Patti Giuffre

Taking the Heat

Women Chefs and Gender Inequality in the Professional Kitchen

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examines how the world of professional chefs is gendered, what conditions have led to this gender segregation, and how women chefs feel about their work in relation to men. Tracing the historical evolution of the profession, Deborah Harris and Patti Giuffre reveal a great irony between the present realities of the culinary profession and the traditional, cultural associations of cooking and gender.
