Women working in the kitchen of their homes are often unable to reach higher positions in corporate offices and business centres. Sometimes the responsibility of the family and sometimes the discrimination between men and women in the office makes them fall down the ladder of success. Although the kitchen is a place where they are considered experts, but when the same kitchen is in a five star hotel, it is surprising that there are the least number of women there.
The person who cooks and takes care of the kitchen in big hotels is called a chef. But sadly, if we look at the statistics, not only in the world but also in India, there are the least number of women in the list of top 10 chefs. In such a situation, a question definitely comes to mind that why a woman who cooks amazing food at home cannot become a chef. While this career option would be the best for them, to know the answer to this, it is important to understand the mentality of the people.
There is only one woman among the world’s top 10 chefs
First of all, if we talk about the top 10 chefs of the world, then according to the report of ecoleducasse.com, there is only one female chef in this list. Alain Ducasse is in the first position and Gordon Ramsay is in the second position. While the only female chef Anne Sophie Pic of France is at number 7 in this list.
Top 10 Chefs of India
Now if we talk about India, here in 90 percent of the houses women cook food. But when it comes to career, this percentage decreases a lot. According to the information available on the internet, there are only 3 women in the list of top 10 chefs. The top 3 are famous chefs like Vikas Khanna, Sanjeev Kapoor and Ranveer Brar. While female chef Madhur Jafri is at the fourth position and Neeta Mehta is at the 6th position.
Women don’t get a chance
Now it is natural to raise the question that why the number of women is so less, then the first answer you will get at home itself. Whenever a woman cooks good food in the kitchen of her house, sometimes she is praised. But it is rarely said that if you cook so well then you can also become a chef. Thinking about kitchen work as a career option would be discussed in only 10 percent of the houses out of 100.
Society’s thinking lowers confidence
Now if a woman even thinks of leaving her home and becoming a chef, then the thinking of the society lowers her confidence. Everyone’s belief that a woman should remain confined to the kitchen of the house reduces her confidence. Because of this, only a few women are able to move forward and some, following the thinking of the society, are left cooking in the kitchen only.
Women get fewer opportunities
When a woman leaves her home and moves towards success leaving behind the social thinking, many times she does not get equal opportunities as men in the professional field. Family responsibilities and child care come in the way of her career. Only a few women are able to achieve top positions. That is why their number in the top list remains less.
