Joyce Molyneux Explained
Joyce Molyneux (17 April 1931 – 27 October 2022)[1] [2] was a British chef and restaurateur, who became one of the first women to receive a Michelin star.[3] [4]
Writing in The Telegraph in 2003, Jan Moir said "Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the chef, Joyce Molyneux, was at the forefront of the growth of modern British cooking".[5]
Molyneux worked in just three restaurant kitchens, Mulberry Tree in Stratford-upon-Avon in the 1950s, Hole in the Wall in Bath in the 1960s, and for 25 years at The Carved Angel in Dartmouth, Devon until her retirement in 1999.[1]
In 1959 she met Stephen Rodríguez-García, who was working at the Mulberry Tree as a waiter. He became her partner until his death in 1994.[1]
