Master chef

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large chef (French. Grand Queux ) was in the Middle Ages to the early modern period an officer of the French king. He always came from the nobility and was responsible for running the royal kitchen at court. There were comparable offices in Poland and Lithuania until the 18th century.

function

He managed all the employees in the kitchen and the assistants and had to come from the nobility because of the special security level of his work. After the death of Louis de Prie, the last master chef in 1490, this task was given up in favor of a new function at the court, the courtly "grand master".
