From The Bear to Boiling Point, we can’t get enough of kitchen dramas.
of the world’s best 100 restaurants have a female head chef. Which feels acutely unfair, considering that women historically have been expected to do the majority of home cooking. These statistics aren’t because men are more talented chefs; it’s because they are assumed to be, thanks to patriarchal conditioning.
Professional kitchens are widely known to be gruelling and stressful places, and with that comes the assumption that women wouldn’t be able to handle the intensity, that we’re too ‘delicate’ for it. I always think of the thousands of recipes passed down through generations of women, only to end up on a Michelin-star menu with some dude taking the credit, as if he built those flavour profiles with his own hands.
It’s conflicting then, how much I enjoy watching fictional chefs curse and cook up a storm. It’s not just because they’re sexy . It’s because I love food, and therefore I love to feel like I’m peeking behind the kitchen curtain through films like. I love it because I never felt like I’d be allowed there in real life. I like the drama, the stress and the passion – because food incites that within me, too. But I need to stop romanticising it.
The recent popular on-screen portrayals have adjacent female characters, and some do a good job of realistically showing the sexism they face. Like the character of sous chef Sydney Adams in, who battles with kitchen machismo and has to work 10-times harder to be heard than her less qualified male counterparts. But seeing a woman front and centre? I can’t think of one example.will pick up six months from where the film left off, and it will see sous chef Carly as head chef at her own restaurant.
