Crumbs of Wisdom
Next time you are at a feast, remember this...
"The Cook orders, regulates and is obeyed is his Kitchen; he should
have a chair between the buffet and the fireplace to sit on and rest if
necessary; the chair should be so placed that he can see and survey
everything that is being done in the Kitchen; he should have in his
hand a large wooden spoon which has a double function: one, to test
pottages and brouets, and the other, to chase the children out of the
Kitchen, to make them work, striking them if necessary."
Olivier de la Marche, Mdmoires, mid fifteenth century
