be of interest to you.

Since you earlier talked about period cooks, maybe this one:

http://www.florilegium.org/files/FEASTS/p-cooks-msg.html

And on their work environment:
Kentwell-Hall-art (25K)  6/25/98    A period kitchen at a Living History site.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FEASTS/Kentwell-Hall-art.html

And a bit on period cooking tools can be found in the
