And he couldn’t get enough of her.

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?

Your 20s are NOT the best days of your life – this decade actually sucks a lot of the time. More importantly, you don’t need to have it all figured out by 30. Nobody does (despite what they might say on social media). I’m living proof of that. At 29 I was broke, unmarried, lacking direction and drowning in invites to other people’s life events. I felt like I was failing, falling behind, running out of time… I was terrified to turn 30 because I hadn’t ticked any of the boxes on my list of life goals.
