I have no clue.  My son is almost engaged to a woman who just started at the
CIA (Culinary Institute of America...but it looks REALLY COOL on the frog
keychain she got me!).  The ratio of men to women is 4 to 1, so the
percentage of female chefs isn't going to go up in the near future!  I would
think that "tradition" would play a large part.  Women cook from the
home...even my husbands grandmother started her sauce business out of her
house.  Men start a business by looking for a place.  It's a business from
the get-go.
