It has been argued that narrative elements can be found throughout the history of English scientific writing. Narratives can be linked to specific genres; thus, learned texts for medical doctors were different from those directed to lay audiences (Taavitsainen, 2022). This article sets out to analyse a specific type of medical narrative, that of recipe collections, focusing for the purpose on the text housed in London, Wellcome Library, MS 213. The manuscript dates from the beginning of the seventeenth century (1606, more specifically) and gathers recipes “experienced and tryed by the speciall practize of Mrs Corlyon” (Moorat, 1962-1973).[1] The codex belonged to Alethea Howard (née Talbot), Countess of Arundel. The main aim of the study is to identify and examine narrative forms and functions as well as particular features in the collection of recipes held in MS Wellcome 213, which can contribute to the knowledge of recipes written by and for women during the early modern period. [1] This has been taken from the database description of the Library Catalogue of the Wellcome Collection, available at https://wellcomecollection.org/works/u3w8qbrt (date of access: February 2023).

“…For instance medical instructions have been discussed by Standard (1982), Hunt (1994), Alonso Almeida (1998-99), andTaavitsainen (2001) among others; the alchemical recipes by Grund (2003); herbal preparations by Mäkinen (2004). The structure of the English cooking recipe has been dealt with by Görlach (1992), Eggins (1994), Alonso Almeida (2013), Bator and Sylwanowicz (2017), etc. Sporadically, one encounters publications devoted to the discussion of recipes written in other languages, such as in Spanish (Cruz Cabanillas and Serrano Larráyoz 2017), German (Glaser 1996(Glaser , 2002, or Anglo-Norman (Bator 2016a).…”

Despite the growing interest in traditional cuisine, to the present author's knowledge no linguistic analysis of Polish culinary recipes has been conducted so far. Even though numerous studies of recipes written in other languages, such as English, have been published, the structure and typology of early Polish recipes have, as yet, been ignored. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the earliest known Polish collection Compendium Ferculorum, and collate these fi ndings with what is known about this text type from other languages. Such an analysis will show whether the earliest Polish instructions, which appeared relatively late, i.e. in the 17 th century, follow the pattern which is typical of the period or rather that of an earlier stage in the evolution of the recipe, as was the case with the earliest American recipes (Dylewski 2016).
