All-Women Crews: Staff Members and Chef Training

all-women crews: Head chef Meeru Dhalwala boasts a 100 per cent women kitchen at both Vij and Rangoli restaurants, which she co-owns with her partner Vikram Vij, according to Metro News. She hired more than 50 cooks, none of whom had professional chef training, and she taught them the recipes herself. But some Vancouver restaurant owners – including one who is well known and another who is just starting – have bucked that trend and are instead hiring all-women crews for their kitchens. It works beautifully for my restaurants because I have virtually zero staff turnover and it has been 20 years. All of the women in her award-winning kitchens come to her by referral from staff members and many don't speak English fluently.
