YoungCheffesInsights partnership between the Hoteliers Guild and Institute Paul Bocuse is a very welcome initiative. I have always been deeply committed to supporting and advancing gender equality in the hospitality industry. I applaud the program in its mission to further education and address the challenges facing women in the hospitality industry by creating a safe and empowering culture in the kitchen. We all benefit f rom the common effort of building a community to share knowledge, connections and opportunities. I always knew I wanted to be a chef and I was lucky to have the support of my father, Juan Mari Arzak and other chefs who mentored me f rom childhood through my time training at EHL and beyond. Right now it is more important than ever to encourage strong leadership skills and feed our young talent as they grow their careers. Elena Arzak chef Restaurante Arzak
