[Sca-cooks] fourth grade help

[Johnna Holloway]

Peter Brears All The King's Cooks goes into the schedule of the cooks  
at Hampton Court Palace. You could supplement his text with photos  
taken by the Tudor Cooks who recreate the cookery there today. http://tudorcook.blogspot.com/
There are also some smaller booklets that Hampton Court sells that  
would help as well.

Between Brears' book, the blog, the forum, the photos on flickr, and  
the website, there ought to be enough there for a project.
She could do a small cake (cookie) to hand out or a molded sugrapaste  
treat.
