"A man primarily wants to show off what he can do, whereas a woman wants to please. It is more about emotion, to which technique is added, rather than technique with emotion added later," says Darroze. Photo by JOEL SAGET / AFP

In a business still dominated by men, French chef Helene Darroze credits a feminine,"emotional" touch for her unprecedented leap from three to five Michelin stars this year.

Darroze is already a household name in France thanks to her appearances on Top Chef famous enough even to have a Barbie doll in her image.
