In 2023, the Illustrated Historical Repertoire of Kitchen Tools and Equipment (São Paulo, 1860-1960) will be made available for public research on this website. The project is being produced from a research that already compiled more than 12,000 information on culinary artifacts, gathered in a database especially created for our work. Several types of historical sources were already accessed:
