In a biography about Jordan the Saxon, the second Master General of the
Dominicans (13th c.), the author excerpts some interesting passages on
monastic food and eating from a text written by Humbert of Romans
(Humbertus de Romanis), the fifth Master General of the Dominican order.

Among many other things, he says about the cook, a lay brother:
"In der Küche darf er nie aufgeregt sein" (< germ. excerpt)
In the kitchen, he should never be hectic/excited/upset/in panic

(Will see if I can get the original source.)
