Girl Power

The Michelin Guide appears to be taking baby steps into the modern age by awarding 3 Michelin stars to several young French chefs, including a woman by the name of Anne-Sophie Pic.  Pic is only one of four women to have ever received a 3 star rating from the prestigious guide.  The petite, soft spoken chef has headed the kitchen at "La Maison Pic" for more than a decade and is a specialist in fish. 

This appears to be a big step forward for the guide, but is seen by some as half hearted.  Francois Simon, Le Figaro's restaurant critic, said the Michelin was an out-of-touch relic and its award to a top female chef would sadly not change much in the "blocked, macho world of French gastronomy".
