where did chefs live in the middle ages?
461604
i think the only chefs around were working for royalty and living in castles.  no one else could afford to have a chef except for prehaps rich merchants.  other people like breadmakers and brewers would have shops at a market, people would come to them at their farm or they'd have a shop in town that they most likely lived above.

It was not unusual during the Renaissance for cooks to torture animals before slaughtering them in order to render the meat more tender, for women to use needlepoint to cover up their misconduct and prove their obedience, and for people to cover the walls of their own homes with graffiti.\n\nItems and activities as familiar as mirrors, books, horses, everyday speech, money, laundry baskets, graffiti, embroidery, and food preparation look decidedly less familiar when seen through the eyes of Renaissance men and women. In Renaissance Culture and the Everyday, such scholars as Judith Brown, Frances Dolan, Richard Helgerson, Debora Shuger, Don Wayne, and\nStephanie Jed illuminate the sometimes surprising issues at stake in just such common matters of everyday life during the Renaissance in England and on the Continent.\n\nOrganized around the categories of materiality, women, and transgression--and constantly crossing these categories--the book promotes and challenges readers' thinking of the everyday. While not ignoring the aristocratic, it foregrounds the common person, the marginal, and the domestic even as it presents the unusual details of their existence. What results is an expansive, variegated, and sometimes even contradictory vision in which the\nstrange becomes not alien but a defining mark of everyday life\n\nhttp://www.twingroves.district96.k12.il.us/Renaissance/GeneralFiles/RenLinksDaily.html

From the American Heritage Dictionary:\n\nTrade with the Low Countries across the North Sea was important to England in the later Middle Ages, and it is perhaps because of this trade that we have the word pickle. Middle English pikel, the ancestor of our word, is first recorded around 1400 with the meaning "a spicy sauce or gravy served with meat or fowl." This is a different sense from the one the word brings to mind now, but it is somewhat related in sense to its possible Middle Dutch source pekel, a solution, such as spiced brine, for preserving and flavoring food. After coming into English the word pickle expanded its sense range in several ways. It was applied, as it had been in Middle Dutch, to a pickling solution. Later pickle was used to refer to something so treated, such as a cucumber. The word also took on a figurative sense, "a troublesome situation," perhaps under the influence of a similar Dutch usage in the phrase in de pekel zitten, "sit in the pickle," and iemand in de pekel laten zitten, "let someone sit in the pickle."

Boys were typically apprenticed; girls were educated at home.  In wealthier families, children went to school.  The first college, the Sorbonne, was built at the end of the Middle Ages.  The first school rule was no swords in class...after 4 people died by the sword in college.

seeing as how the renaissance age is very interesting to me, i would think that it was the same as a cook of today. just with more of the dirty work. for instance with chicken; today, cooks just pull it out of the package and dress it up nicely. back then the cook or house maid would have to go out, get the biggest or healthiest chicken and slaughter it. then bring it home and clean it, prepare it, cook it and serve it. or with butter; that to me would have been the most difficult. having to stand with a paddle and push and turn and all by hand for HOURS! so yeah, i hope that helped!

which monastries? if youre talking christian, then they were built in th early middle ages to house communities of monks and nuns. They were also there as inns and guesthouses for pilgrims, and hospitals for the sick, as well as libraries. By contrast, buddhist monastries and such were more for contemplation and solitude, less worldly use. They were built by masons, in christian case on behalf of the monk by pios community members, not sure for the eastern ones

The years 1300-1500, the Late Middle Ages, were a period of difficulty for the Roman Catholic Church.  The popes resided in Avignon, France for seventy years to escape political pressures in Italy, but the prophetic voices of St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Catherine of Siena urged reform and called the popes back to Rome.  A worse tragedy followed, however; the great schism of 1378 -1417 in which two and later three men claimed to be the legitimate pope.  The influence of the papacy was severely damaged.  Englishman John Wycliff and Czech John Hus furher challenged the Church's teaching authority.\n\nIn spite of this there were signs of spiritual awakening.  Catholic mysticism flourished in Holland, Germany, and England.  The modern devotion movement gave birth to 'The Imitation of Christ' and other spiritual classics.  St. Joan of Arc's visions brought victory to France, and in the East the prayer of the heart <hesychasm> ushered in new spiritual life.

The Catholic Church. \nThe Monastic Order called "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" popularly known as the "Knights Templar"\nThe Order was founded in 1119 and they were exempt from all authority except that of the Pope\nThey received massive donations of money, land, and noble-born sons from families across Europe.\nThough the primary mission of the Order was a military one, only a small percentage of its members were actually at the front lines, while many others were involved in developing a financial infrastructure to support the warrior branch. The Order also innovated ways of generating letters of credit for pilgrims who were journeying to the Holy Land, which involved pilgrims depositing their valuables with the Order before setting off on the journey. This may have been the first form of checking put into use. From this mixture of donations and shrewd business dealing, during the 12th and 13th centuries the Order acquired large tracts of land both in Europe and the Middle East, built churches and castles, bought farms and vineyards, was involved in manufacturing and import/export, had its own fleet of ships, and for a time even owned the entire island of Cyprus.
