[Sca-cooks] The Cook's Orders

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

I like it!  I will have to have that printed on the back of a chef's jacket
to wear into class!

Actually, a description of a Master Cook's "accoutrements" was somewhat
described as follows:

The Cook orders, regulates and is obeyed in his Kitchen; he should have
a chair between the buffet and the fireplace to sit on and rest if
necessary; the chair should be so placed that he can see and survey
everything that is being done in the Kitchen; he should have in his hand
a large wooden spoon which has a double function:  one, to test pottages
and brouets, and the other, to chase the children out of the Kitchen to
make them work, striking them if necessary.
