      She's already one at this point. She cooks in the show and cooks live at the house. She might not have been a good one at start but after all this experience and she also has said she cooks for her family; you can assume she is a quite competent one. For a Victorian Head Cook, that is.

    My maternal grandmother was the head cook in a house owned by a mining family in Lancashire. She was born in the later Victorian age and emigrated to Canada with my mother and aunt in the late 1920s. She was a fabulous cook. My favourite dish was salted haddock poached in milk. I wish she was still around. I would love to have conversations about her life and times.

      Clearly Pommie bears and Scrimjaw you have never seen any of the countless history documentaries the BBC creates. I'd say about 80% are exclusively about British history. I watch all the ones I can get my hands (eyes?) on because I love history and they have such well-made documentaries. I'm not British so sometimes I wish I could watch more about the history of other parts of the world as well, but they're BBC so I get it (and I still love the British ones so as long as they keep making history docs, I'm not complaining!). I'm not sure why you seem to think BBC is anti-British history?

      It was very much the norm for 'career servants' from what I hear. With the job being as demanding as it was, and most staff living on-site, it left little room for personal relationships. On top of that, staff were discouraged from seeing one another, just like in modern day offices - one wouldn't want a lovers' tiff to spill into the preparation of afternoon tea or end up with the horses unfed.
