There is a wonderful chapter at the end of Scully's "Early French Cooking'
that describes a day in the life of Chiquart. It describes in vivid detail the
various staff and support personael , normal meals, banquets, provisioning,
disbursment, preparation, etc. of the typical royal household of the time and
the ups and downs of being a Kitchen Steward. Fascinating reading and a must
read for anyone who really has a desire to know what it was like to perform
this duty.
