The kitchen was behind the solar.
The head cook was always a man,
and he had many young boys to help him.
The center of the kitchen was a huge fireplace that burned logs up to a meter long.
This fireplace was used for cooking,
and to heat water for washing.
Pots,
pans,
and cooking utensils hung on the walls and ceiling,
and there was a because they were special cabinet for spices.
It was always kept locked,
so expensive.
