Abstract
A study of the chefs and sauce-makers of the court of the king of Navarre from the mid-fourteenth to the latefifteenth century. Professionals from the kingdom predominated, although there were also French, Catalans, and Castilians. French gastronomic influences dominated the Navarese court�s cuisine, but the gradual introduction of some Mediterranean influences reunited and transformed numerous aspects of cultured French, Andalusian, Catalan and Occitan cuisines, in addition to the presence and influence of Castilian chefs during the fifteenth century. Prosopographical appendix of culinary professionals cited in the documentation.
