Bakers are generally a distinct group from cooks; baking bread (and pies) required different skills and tools than cooking in general. See Medieval Bread FAQ and these links for information on bread and bakers in the Middle Ages. See A Feast for the Eyes: Kitchens, Cooking, & Equipment and Bäcker-Zeichen for additional related illustrations.
