in the first cookbook she wrote called atelier crenn, she writes about her struggles and successes.  when she first started working in a restaurant she noticed that there were very very few women. over the course of her career, she had to deal with male chefs and a lot of discrimination. in an interview with david green, she says quote “ i will cut them” as a joke. she says that she does not like to fight physically or with violence. she will fight back with words. another fact about her is that she fully supports the march of dimes.
