Usachevsky Market is a popular place in Moscow, with more than 30 best restaurants and cafes with different national cuisines. The goal of our project was to draw public attention to disrespectful treatment of female chefs in Russia. The mission of our project was to dispel the stereotype that the best chefs are men. We interacted directly with our visitors through tastings and further calls for e-voting for the best restaurant concept. The vote helped determine the winners, who were mostly female chefs. So, we were able to defeat the myth that professional chefs are male only. All words in Russian language have a gender assigned to them. We contacted dictionaries and added a new feminine gender for the Russian word Chef. For the first time ever, the LARGEST online dictionary of Contemporary Russian officially announced that the word “chef” can be used both in the masculine and feminine genders.
