 * If you were a servant in the 18th century, you **
 * needed to know how to prepare meals, and how to **
 * cook meals. Usually, if you were in a wealthy family, **
 * you should have about seven courses at a party. The **
 * children would sit at a separete table away from the adults. **
 * Some people had five servants. Others could have twelve. If you **
 * were a young girl and not very wealthy, you might have to stay in the house all day and help your mother make meals, clean the house, or take care of siblings. If you were a servant, you would have to collect herbs from the garden,and get fruit and veggietables from the market. Basically, you would have to collect all the ingrediants if you didn't already have them.﻿ **



**THESE ARE SOME THINGS YOU WOULD COOK**

THIS IS WHAT THE KITCHEN WOULD LOOK LIKE.

﻿IN COLONIAL DAYS THEY DID NOT HAVE ELECTRONICS BACK THEN SO YOU COULD'NT STICK YOUR WAFFLE IN THE TOASTER AND COOK IT.YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE BATTER AND THEN STICK IT IN A WAFFLE IRON AND COOK IT OVER THE FIRE.

THE KITCHEN FOR THE GOVENER IS LOCATED TO THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
