IN Paris, France, Nina Metayer is now the first woman to win one of the world’s top pastry chef awards, World Confectioner.
This is the first time in the history of the 92 year award, from the International Union of Bakers and Pastry Chefs, that it has ever gone to a woman! Her incredible cakes were what did the trick, and she explained that she was not one to follow the new low fat trends, “I like cakes with butter, gluten and eggs” she stated, “when we eat a cake, it’s for pleasure.”
Although she trained as a baker, Nina revealed that she found it tough to break into the male dominated world of French boulangeries when she started out 15 years ago. However, Nina Metayer does not currently work in a luxury cafe or even a pastry shop, she actually runs a delivery service out of an industrial space in a business district that is just outside of Paris.
In addition to her career successes, Nina is also a mother of two, and in true magic- multitasking-mother style, she often posts videos on social media of her creating her famous cakes alongside her young daughters. She stated that she “wants to show it is possible to be a female chef, entrepreneur, and have a happy family”.
What a woman, and an inspiration to young girls, mothers and women everywhere, showing that they too can make their dreams come true!
I would have thought a woman would have won this thing around 20 years ago. Through merit.
One of the shows that Ramsey was on had a magnificent kid...and I was so impressed. I'll see if I can find a link.
I’m sure the desire to have the first female named the “best something or other” had nothing to do with the selection.
The gaslighting is incessant.
The sad thing about all this affirmative action, DIE and quotas is that it diminishes the achievement of the truly deserving, because there is always the suspicion that they really didn’t earn it.
Like the incompetent first black, female president of Harvard.
She has that right. Now if "chefs" will stop serving undercooked vegetables in tiny portions with little flavor, maybe folks will start going to restaurants again.
Exactly. So sick of the identity politics.
But what is the definition of a woman?
She’s pretty and not a trans.
Total BS. I don’t believe she is better than 10,000 French men who are pastry chefs.
Exactly
I’ll wait for Paul Hogan to verify her gender.
All male pastry chefs are gay. Is this one lesbian?
Are they really? Serious question.
Yes, raw vegetables = basically a slightly warmed salad. Yuk.
