The kitchen of the house was really where the most important matters of Alcaufar Vell were discussed. The angular space where life took place around the fire, in which Joana Caules Pons, Joan Mercadal Seguí wife and Lord of Alcaufar, went about her business with that enchanting smile, and which one day, the legend explains, ended up seducing Marshal Duke of Richelieu himself. Nobody knows what went on in the alcove the room has, but once in Paris, the French military man spared no time in praising among the court the mayonnaise sauce and the charms of that chef.
