Randall, the ship's cook of the Walrus.

A cook is a profession for individuals who prepare food for consumption. Good cooks are highly coveted aboard ships, particularly pirate vessels.

Aboard pirate vessels, most cooks were simply designated crew members, unless they were a defector from a merchant ship. Unlike merchant or naval vessels, every member of a pirate crew is entitled to equal provisions, and receiving special treatment is forbidden.

Inns and taverns will often employ professional cooks, as will the wealthy. Most ordinary people, such as Miranda Barlow. have some cooking experience, at least enough to be able to feed themselves.
