In this chapter the author introduces the untold history of the festivity cooks in Sweden as being a development of female professional livelihood in meal production. The festivity cooks were active from 1850 to 1960, in the beginning in the countryside and, later, in the bourgeois homes in the cities.The research method is a bricolage method with different types of sources, i.e., archive materials, a broadcast programme, a few earlier research reports and literature regarding local cultural heritage, and folklife cooking traditions and cookbooks. The author presents some conclusions that may be made from the diverse data found: the festivity cooks were strong individualists and highly respected among their customers. They were embedded in their social contexts, where they cultivated their specific way towards mastery. The festivity cooks worked as lone stars in contrast to the professional hierarchical working-life experiences of male chefs.
