the World's Best Female Chef 2017

the World's Best Female Chef 2017 Slovenian chef Ana Ros, who runs Hisa Franko--a restaurant in a remote village called Kobarid, in the western part of the country--is the new winner of the title of the World's Best Female Chef for the year 2017. She follows in the footsteps of other celebrated women in the international food industry--Dominique Crenn, Helene Darroze and Anne-Sophie Pic. This comes as a welcome surprise to us, and also to this seventh recipient of the title herself, whose entry into the culinary world had been purely accidental. The title is awarded every year by the British magazine, Restaurant, based on a poll of international chefs, restaurateurs, gourmands and restaurant critics. The same group of nearly 1000 members also comes up with the World's 50 Best Restaurants. Ros is a completely self-taught chef who even declined the offer of working as a diplomat in Brussels to carry on running her family restaurant. Later she travelled and dined at other restaurants from where she sought inspiration to create her own signature in the platter she designed. She eventually made her mark in the world of food by featuring in the popular Netflix series 'Chef's Table'.

Ros, who has now emerged as an ambassador of Slovenia's authentic taste, said, ''It is a big responsibility to accept this award, especially as a self-taught cook, but the recognition provides an opportunity for people to re-assess Slovenia as an interesting gastronomic destination,'' as reported by CTV News.

Ros will accept her award at the World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards on April 5 in Melbourne, Australia.
