Kitchen clerk
The kitchen clerk , also known as the kitchen clerk , kept the accounts of the money spent on the kitchen. He received the money he needed from the court marshal , the kitchen master , the court rentmaster or the court paymaster . He either used the money to buy victuals himself and delivered them to the court caterer or received the bills for them if he had received food from the court purveyors . The bookkeeping of the kitchen clerk served the court marshal to keep an overview of the expenses for the catering of the court.
In the case of small court holdings, the clerk took the place of the chef.
At the Austrian imperial court , the kitchen clerk was a protocol officer over the master chefs, in the court kitchen he was on a par with the mouth cook and the kitchen doorman . All three were subordinate to the court kitchen inspector .
