How long did it take for a cook in the medieval to make a standard meal?
That would depend on what was being made and by whom. Peasants generally had a pot on the fire at all times to which they would add scraps and grains to make a type of stew or porridge that could be eaten for any meal. A cook in a royal household would spend a very long time preparing food that was meant to show off one’s wealth to dinner guests with a lavish meal that stretched out through several courses and could include fancy meat pies, spiced wine, and elaborate desserts. the wealthy people didn’t care what the peasents or anyone felt they just wanted their wonderful meal.
