[Sca-cooks] Pennsic Iron Chef Results

[Decker, Terry D.]

Probably.  Journeymen cooks and bakers tended to go where there was work and
to broaden their skills.  From some of the household accounts, it is obvious
that cooks and bakers were often independent contractors, receiving wages
and bonuses as well as room and board.  While some, such as Taillevent,
apprenticed into a household and served the house for a lifetime, I suspect
this may have been less common than the hiring of guild trained cooks and
bakers, especially in the Later Middle Ages.

There are also cooks and bakers who worked the streets and fairs about whom
we know very little.
