Hélène Darroze at the Connaught and Core by Clare Smyth awarded three Michelin stars 2021

"To all the women working in the kitchen or in our industry, everything is possible and believe in your dreams. And I can tell you today...everything is possible" - Chef Hélène Darozze

"We worked hard every day to be the best that we can. We try to be better every day than the last. Obviously it's my dream to reach this level but you could never imagine it would happen. It's incredible. There's nothing that is unachievable now. Core opened just over three years ago. I just want for the future that young chefs – male or female – have the opportunity to open their own restaurants." - Chef Clare Smyth
