The aims of the study sought to establish the extent of gender inequality and the factors that contribute to it in the chef profession in Ireland. The first national gender inequality survey was designed to collect empirical and qualitative data of the chef profession. Joan Acker’s (1990) original theory of gendered organisations and Connell’s (1995) concept of hegemonic masculinity were employed to undertake a systematic gender analysis of the data emanating the survey. This analysis reveals, for the first time, the extent of gender inequality in the roles and work environments in which men and women chefs work and suggests reasons why this occurs. A critical gender analysis of the qualitative data revealed the factors that women chefs identify as barriers to gender equality and those that need to be addressed to advance gender equality. The gender analysis of both the empirical and qualitative data in this study suggests that Acker’s (1990) theory remains relevant for assessing gender inequality in twenty first century work organizations with caveats. The findings suggest that education should be considered as a possible site of inequality in addition to Acker’s (1990) five interconnecting practises and processes of the division of labour, individual identities, workplace interactions, cultural symbols and images and the organisation logic of gendered organisations. 4 Glossary of Terms Brigade de Cuisine: A French hierarchical management system to ensure kitchen operations run smoothly.

  • La Brigade De Cuisine 
    LA BRIGADE DE CUISINE 1. Généralités Cette organisation avec des règles quasi militaires correspond à un travail qui existait autrefois dans les grandes brigades classiques où chaque partie était bien distincte. Cette hiérarchisation à tendance à disparaître, les cuisiniers sont moins nombreux dans les brigades et ils sont plus polyvalents, l’évolution du matériel, des techniques et des normes d’hygiène a contribué à ce changement. La tendance actuelle est une organisation autour de trois secteurs principaux : . La cuisine froide. La cuisine chaude. La pâtisserie. 2. LE CHEF L’importance du chef est conditionnée par la taille de l’entreprise, par le fait également qu’il soit le propriétaire ou non de l’établissement. a) Le rôle technique.

This highly-regarded, curious kitchen experiments with balloons, snow, fire... all with the hopes of creating innovatve dishes. Whatever the process, just ask anyone lucky enough have a bite: Grant Achatz is one hell of a chef. AndrewZimmern.com: What did you learn from the amazingly talented chefs who have mentored you over the years before you opened Alinea? Grant Achatz: I have been lucky to have a few key people take me under their wing at various points in my development. Steve Stallard was the first chef that I worked for. I credit him with giving me a great deal of confidence at a very young and essential age. His focus very European, I remember making procuitto from scratch and butchering game that he had shot on hunting trips. He would lecture me on the importance of hanging the birds, having a light touch and cooking sensibly. Thomas Keller mentored me at the French Laundry... really, he is the main one who guided me during my formative years as a young chef and I was exceptionally fortunate to have him as a teacher. Chef Keller leads by example and more than any technique, recipe, or dish, I learned that it takes incredible commitment, time, and passion to get things right. I truly learned how to season food from him. He is the one whom I credit fully understanding food and the experience of dining can be emotional and therefore art.

An in depth look at what it takes to create and manage one of the world’s greatest eateries, For Grace also tells the complex story of a man constantly pushing forward in a quest to overcome his traumatic past and create his own future. Chicago Restaurant History Before it closed in 2012, Charlie Trotter’s was one of the most famous restaurants in Chicago and in the world. It was named one of the 30 best restaurants in the world by Restaurant Magazine in 2007 and was one of three restaurants in Chicago to be rewarded two Michelin stars. Many famous Chicago chefs, like Alinea’s Grant Achatz and Curtis Duffy, began their careers working in the Charlie Trotter kitchens. Michelin stars began in 1900, when the Michelin tire company began creating travel guides as a way to promote road trips in France. Being awarded a Michelin star is a hallmark of fine dining and is also a very difficult process. Michelin stars can also be taken away if the food is not to the same standard.

  • The Absence of Females in Executive Chef Position in Zimbabwean Hotels: Case of Rainbow Tourism Group (RTG)
    Australian Journal of Business and Management Research Vol.3 No.10 [01-18] | January-2014 ISSN: 1839 - 0846 The Absence of Females in Executive Chef Position in Zimbabwean Hotels: Case of Rainbow Tourism Group (RTG) Dorothy Monica FungaiZengeni (Corresponding Author) Lacturer: University of Zimbabwe, Faculty of Commerce Tourism , Leisure and Hospitality Studies department [email protected] EdnahTendani Lecturer: Belvedere Teacher’s College Tourism and Hospitality Department Nelson Zengeni Lecturer: Chinhoyi University of Technology, School of Hospitality and Tourism, Department of Hospitality and Tourism ABSTRACT The Zimbabwe hospitality environment is recognised for its importance to Zimbabwe economy. It is a booming industry, yet there is very little research that focuses on the specific issues affecting those working in the kitchen. Based on employees perspective this case study looks at the issue of the absence of females in the Executive Chef Position. The case study focuses on the kitchen department of R.T.G hotels. The lack of research into the kitchen, and more specifically the Hospitality in Zimbabwe environment is perplexing because it is predominately female, yet at Executive Chef Levels these females are not equally represented. Purposeful sampling was used in coming up with a sample of thirty respondents. Data from this study was analysed using tables, bar graphs, pie charts and the findings were categorised under themes according to the major areas of investigation and followed by discussion. The findings revealed that marital status (work family conflict), lack of experience, negative attitude of females, and the harsh conditions in the kitchen are the major contributing variables to the absence of females in the Executive Chef Position in the commercial kitchens.
