SC - Titles for Cooks

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

Hi all from Anne-Marie

re: cooks titles in period. 
Adamantius reminds us of the chic title of cuisiner (my personal favorite,
and the one I use myself).
>From Chiquart, the cuisinier for the Duke of Savoy in 1420, we have a list
of his kitchen personnel. Check this out! It actually gives quite a few
clues into the organization of a real 15th century kitchen.

Gillet de Rumillie, cusinier, livree de la duchesse [in the service of the
duchess herself]
Collet, cuisinier, livree de la duchesse
Mestre Chicart Amiczo, cuisinier, livree de l'hotel [in the service of the
dukes "house"]
Mestre Pierre Sailler, cuisinier, livree de l'hotel
Jehan Manget, rotisseur, livree de la duchesse ["roaster" for the duchess]
Jehan Roulet, lardonnier, livree de l'hotel ["larder" the guy who deals
with fat, I guess]
Guichard, pollalier, livree de l'hotel ["poulterer" ie the guy who deals
with birds]
Antoine et Gillet, forniers, livree de l'hotel ["baker" according to
Scully]
Michelet, carronnier, livree de l'hotel [house butcher]
Clavellet, solliar, livree de l'hotel ["scullion", or literally "mucker"]
Jehan du Pra, solliar, livree de l'hotel
le fils de Clavellet, solliar, livree de l'hotel
Guillaume Monet, solliar, livree de l'hotel
Perro, solliar, livree de l'hotel
Franczois Cotteau, solliar, livree de l'hotel
Anthoyne, solliar, livree de l'hotel
Jehan Magnin, solliar, livree de l'hotel
Peirre Guillet, sollar, livree de l'hotel
Vernet, solliar, livree de l'hotel
Vincet Lambellin, solliar, livree de l'hotel

Isn't this cool? These are the scullions of a house in the 15th century.
Nobody. Drudges. And we know their names!
