Anne-Sophie Pic on life as a female chef

Anne-Sophie Pic was this week awarded the first ever S.Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants award for being the World’s Best Female Chef.

The French chef from Maison Pic in Valence is the only French woman to have achieved three Michelin stars, and was picked for the award from other culinary greats Elena Arzak from Arzak in San Sebastien, Spain, and Nadia Santini from Dal Pescatore near Milan, Italy.

Collecting her accolade at the S.Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards, Pic spoke with BigHospitality’s Becky Paskin about the extra effort that goes into being a female chef.
