COOKING ALCHEMISTS

One of the greatest paradoxes in cooking is how in this realm –historically dominated by women- only men and not women have walked off with most prizes and honors. Traditionally tasked with home cooking, the work of le femmes in big-time restaurants has come down to just a second-string job for the longest time.

However, despite their still being an overwhelming minority, many women have proven that gastronomy is a female noun. As time rolls on, they are increasingly leaving their footprints in the universe of Spanish cuisine.
