I fully agree with you and disagree with myself now: the details are
interesting, too. Thanks, Gwen Cat & Adamantius, for your translations!

As for the woodcuts: Rumpolt has two woodcuts of cooks: one on the
titlepage, the other one on page 4a, where the office of the cook
("Mundtkoch") is described. The woodcut on page 4a is older, it is very
similar to woodcuts in the 'Von (allen) Speisen' (1531, 1536) and in the
German Platina-translation of 1542.

Other 16th century pictures of cooks include Dürer's "Koch und Köchin".

Best and thanks again,
Thomas
