Kitchen
 |
An 18th-century town house kitchen was cramped, hot and poorly lit compared to a spacious country house kitchen. It was hard to regulate the heat when cooking on open ranges, but skilled cooks could still produce everything from roasts to stews, sauces to syllabubs.
No, that is not a real dog in the cage. It is a toy, but in the 18th century the Dog Wheel was an effective but cruel method of turning a cooking spit in an era when the welfare of animals was rarely considered.
