[Sca-cooks] Hungarian sources

[Johnna Holloway]

With regard to the two Hungarian sources on July 9th posted by His Grace on 9 July,
I have found out a bit more about Radvánszky Béla and have the title of another book that might be
of interest.

I came across this  title in 2011 when doing some research on sources for a Hungarian event here in the Midrealm. I set it aside to be worked on later, if and when the need or interest arose.

Béla Radvánszky. 
Magyar családélet és háztartás a XVI. és XVII. században 

(The Hungarian Family and Household during the 16th and 17th Centuries). (Budapest, 
1897). Seems to be in three volumes and may have originally been based on a series of articles published in a journal. Numerous 19th century editions.

This book is available on Google Books (and actually through Amazon as well).

This book was reprinted in 1986. Subject heading-- Hungary- History- 1526-1683

There are copies of the reprint available, inc the University of Michigan. 
(No I have not loaned it in yet.)

Deservedly may interest us is how our ancestors ate, what they ate, how the food was cooked, how it was used relatively mature in the past centuries, the art of cookery, what a thing of the past relied on during the first half of this century, a famous Hungarian cuisine.
