Italian term or phrase: cuoca di case padronali
Tutto nasce nel 1973 quando il nonno, Giuseppe Possoni,classe 1913, e la nonna, Carolina Bassan, classe 1923, lui mezzadro, lei ***cuoca di case padronali***, lasciano la loro Martinengo (bassa bergamasca) per cercare fortuna in questo angolo appena costruito (anonimamente) di provincia di Varese.

I have some ideas but do not seem fit the bill !!
