- Opis:
- The paper discusses the scarcity of culinary manuscripts in Ireland and how the country’s culinary history is not as developed as in other parts of the world. It highlights the influence of the relationship between Ireland and England on Irish culinary traditions. Due to the absence of a medieval recipe writing tradition in Ireland, the earliest surviving manuscript recipe books date back to the 17th century and are written exclusively in English, primarily for household use. Those Irish manuscript recipe books that identify an author or compiler often link them to upper-class backgrounds. Female members of the upper class were the primary authors of these collections, which were predominantly compiled by women in domestic settings, similar to the practice in Britain. The National Library of Ireland holds several manuscript recipe books, with the earliest texts dating from the mid- to late 17th century, offering insights into the culinary culture of the time. These early recipe collections emphasise the importance of food in Irish culture and reveal the significant influence of British cuisine on Irish cooking.
