The dominant view of a professional kitchen is one of chaos and pent-up fury - a gladiatorial contest of male ego. Why then do we also hear the misogynistic refrain that women 'belong in the kitchen' if, in a professional context, they're all but erased from them? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Woman's Place is in the Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e is a stirring manifesto - drawing back the curtain on restaurant kitchens to show how she is endeavouring to change them for the better. Filled with stories of Michelin-starred food, the relentlessness of kitchens, as well as the hope for the future of the culinary landscape, Sally's memoir is set to become a classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Abe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0349727775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780349727776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fleet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sally Abe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202636366079,"sku":"9780349727776","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b8075b7-4a24-418d-95c6-ac9c510d2d5f.jpg?v=1756832951","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-womans-place-is-in-sally-abe-9780349727776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
