1. Title: A Morning in the Scullery: Training the Next Generation of Cooks at the National Training School of Cookery, South Kensington, London (1874) 2.. This evocative image captures the morning session in the scullery of the National Training School of Cookery, located in South Kensington, London, in the year 1874. The National Training School of Cookery, established in 1872, was a pioneering institution dedicated to providing professional training for young women in the art of cookery. In this photograph, a group of students, dressed in pristine white aprons, are seen hard at work in the scullery. The scullery, a vital part of any kitchen, was where the preparation and cleaning of dishes took place. The students are engrossed in their tasks, meticulously cleaning and polishing the dishes, pots, and pans, ensuring they are ready for use in the main kitchen. The atmosphere in the scullery is one of diligence and dedication. The students, with their focused expressions and determined postures, are a testament to their commitment to mastering the culinary arts. The presence of the large copper pots and pans, traditional implements of the trade, underscores the historical significance of the institution and the importance of the skills being taught. It is essential to note that the students in this photograph were not paupers from workhouses, as is often assumed when the term "National Training School of Cookery" is mentioned. Instead, they were young women from various socio-economic backgrounds who sought professional training in cookery to secure employment opportunities in the growing hospitality industry. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the National Training School of Cookery and the dedication of its students to their craft. It is a poignant reminder of the transformative power of education and the importance of preserving the rich culinary heritage of the past.
