[Sca-cooks] ELIZABETHAN KITCHEN

[Nancy Kiel]

In a kitchen where one is demonstrating, the table is made lower than is
comfortable for the cook so that the audience can see what's being done (or
so I was told at Colonial Williamsburg, after my back went into spasms from
making puff pastry).

This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.
