Hmmmm, first time I've ever heard Tarot referred to as a "Wedding Cake recipe book" but I can see it.. Cooking may also be another name/term for Alchemy.
I see the bag on the Bateleur's table as the Creator's "possibles" bag..., the inside is the darkness of chaos.... out of which light, order & form were called forth. Only the Creator knows what else is in there.... As to should the bag be on his waist, as in a scrip. [purse].. no I think not. The three legged table may be an allusion to the Emerald Table of Hermes Trismegistus.
Just a few thoughts.....
