There are no commonly available sources of period Hungarian recipies.  there

are two manuscripts at the Sechenyi Library in Budapest that are believed to

have been written before 1600 and there is a manuscript in Germany that has

has four recipies from the last 1400s.  _The Cuisine of Hungary_ by George

Lang discusses these few sources and gives a few recipies but not anything

substantial.  I have worked out one of those recipies, Savanyu Vetrece.

Hmmm. . .which two?  I mentioned three, only one of which may be in German.

Lang never gives the titles for these books in the text. He does state that

the earliest, the codex from the 1400's is in the Munich State Library, but

that may not be true at this time.

 

Duke Cariadoc may have more information on the two cookbooks in the Szechenyi

Library.  My really fuzzy recollection is that those may be in Hungarian. . .

THere are several 'hungarian' dishes in German cookbooks. They (or some

of them) are mentioned by Wiswe in his 'Kulturgeschichte der Kochkunst'

on p. 108. On this page you also find a small facsimile of a manuscript

in Munich from 1548; could be the one, someone mentioned earlier (it is

the 'Codex germanicus monacensis 349, here fol. 118r). Maybe I can look

for some texts later (maybe not).

 

THen there is a 14th century recipe in the Italian 'Libro di cucina' ed.

by Frati (and later by Faccioli): Torta ungaresca per XII persone.

(Frati p. 59; also mentioned by Wiswe)

 

Then, there are many hungarian recipes in Rumpolt!

 

Then, there is a recipe called 'Alia torta pro Ungaris et Bohemis' in

the 'Registre de Cuisine' de Jean de Bockenheim, edited by Laurioux (the

exact titles of all these books are in my biblioagraphy at

http://www.uni-giessen.de/~g909/cookbib.htm).

I can't key in and translate all these recipes at present. But here is

the recipe from the oldest text, the 'libro per cuoco' (Ms. 15th

century, text 14th century):

There is one recipe in _Libro Del Arte De Cozina_, Diego Granado,

Madrid, 1599.  "Para hazer escudilla de leche, vulgarmente llamada

Vngaresca" -- "To make a dish of milk, commonly called Hungarian".

It's basically a custard, made with milk, eggs, butter, and sugar, and

optionally flavored with saffron and cinnamon.  An alternate version

contains orange juice, cinnamon, ginger, saffron, and rose water.  I have

no idea if this is genuinely Hungarian -- the ingredients seem consistent

with other Spanish recipes of the period.

It is possible this is the one that Lang mentions, although the date is a bit

Mattyas (Matthias Corvinus) in 1475.

The 1616 Danish cookbook has a few recipes "in the Hungarian manner" - for

spinach, pike and the following one:

 

Lamme Stiek / Ender eller Kapuner paa Ungerske

 

Steeg dem først smuckt møre oc giør siden et saad offuer dem / saaledis: Tag

Vijnedicke oc vijn / sla Æg iblant / oc giør en god suppe aff / leg der udi

liffig smag. Naar forbemelte Ful er vel steegt / saa leg den paa Fadet / oc

giff samme Saad der offuer / oc bær det frem.

 

Lamb, duck or capons in the Hungarian manner

 

First fry them nicely tender and then make a sauce to pour over this way:

Take wine vinegar and wine, beat an egg into this and make a good soup. Add

a whole white onion or two and let it boil in the sauce. Add cinnamon,

nutmeg, mace, ginger and saffron to taste. When the meat or bird is well

cooked, then lay it on a plate, pour the sauce over it and serve forth.

Absolutely true, that one has to be very careful about the value of

these sources. I cannot comment on that as I do not know 'real'

hungarian recipes of that time. I can imagine, that at least the

documents of professional cooks like Jean de Bockenheim or Marx Rumpolt

should be somehow reliable, because they were _cooking for_ people of

different nations, e.g. at diplomatic meetings, and because they had a

chance to meet colleagues from other countries.

Wiswe dates the text in 1548, however, in the list of manuscripts in 'Du

manuscrit a table', the same manuscript (cgm 349) is dated earlier: in

the second half of the 15th century. So the dates given by either can be

wrong. THe titles of the 4 recipes according to 'Du manuscrit':

- -- Karpfen Im furhesß und ein safran prúe

- -- Inber prúe und praden kopaún

- -- nágel prúe zw machen an pachen hecht oder Karpen

- -- Peffer zw wilpradt

The first two are in the Wiswe-picture. If I find my magnifying glass, I

can try and transcribe them (the picture is very small).

 

Let me add one thing from the 10th century: the earliest source for

Hungarian cuisine seems to be the chronicle of a monk, called Heribald,

in Sanct Gallen (the story is told in: M. Horvath, Die Paprika-Kueche.

Ein ungarisches Kochbuch, Stuttgart 1957). He describes, how Hungarian

soldiers attacked the monastery in 925. All the monks were gone before,

except him. He said that he was treated very kind by them. In the

evening they grilled a well seasened ox, that, according to Heribald,

was _very_ tasty...

I guess the real key then is to get someone to read the manuscript and see if

it mentions the wedding feast of Matthias Corvinus.

 

<<THe titles of the 4 recipes according to 'Du manuscrit':

This might actually be of some help since Lang gives descriptions of three of

the recipies.  The best description he gives(good enough that I've recreated

the recipe) is for Savanyu Vetrece (Sour Vetrece) which is beef in a sour

cream and vinegar sauce.  The other two he gives are as follows, "The carp

dish at the feast was prepared as follows: First the fish was roasted; then

gingerbread and white rolls were cooked in wine and pressed through a sieve;

then apple and pear added and agian the whole thing pureed.  Finally the

roast fish was placed in the middle of this puree and served with saffron

honey.  Another dish was capon in ginger juice thickened with the dough of a

white roll cooked in wine peppered and properly salted."  If the two reciepes

you have access two resemble any of these at all then it is the right source.

 

The final reference you give is one I've seen before and is a fine

description of the early Magyar raiding parties. . .

Subject: SC - information access / Hungarian cuisine

 

"Of course, many other people are able to use the collection for various

research projects." This is quoted from an article by Louis Szathmary

about "The Szathmary Culinary Archives", a collection of about 18.000

cookbooks and related culinary material. If I understood correctly, part

of this collection was donated to the University of Iowa and is now part

of their special collections; the other part seems to be housed "above

my restaurant (The Bakery) in Chicago" (I may have got that wrong).

 

The Szathmary collection seems to be especially strong in Hungarian

cookbooks ("... contains just about every cookbook ever printed in

Hungary"). Szathmary says that Marx Rumpolt (the author of the famous

'Ein new Kochbuch', 1581) is an Hungarian. I didn't recall that, so I

reread Rumpolt's preface. Rumpolt says, that he was "an vieler Herrn

Höfen" and that he learned about the cuisines of "Jtalien/ Niderlanden/

Reussen/ Preussen/ Polen/ Vngern/ Böhem/ Osterreich vnd Teutschlandt".

And, yes, he says that he is "ein geborner Vnger", who had to leave the

land when he was young because of the Turkish invasion in that time.

 

Thus, it seems to me that we can take Rumpolt's recipes 'in an Hungarian

style' to be somewhat more close to Hungarian cuisine than the Hungarian

style recipes of other collections.

 

Louis Szathmary mentions another interesting document in his collection:

"a leather-covered document, handwritten on vellum in Hungary circa

1490".

 

Looking from Europe, it seems that Chicago has at least two good

culinary collections to visit (the other one being the John Crerar

Library). If I ever drop by there ...

Yes, there are. As in several other cookbooks. Here is a somewhat

premature list, as there are more recipes Nanna and Lady Brighid posted

not yet in this list, and are still more cookbooks to look at... We had
