A Balassa család konyhája és konyhai eszközei a kora újkortól a 19. század közepéig
The Kitchen and Kitchen Utensils of the Balassa Family from the early modern to the middle of the 19th century

Summary/Abstract: Documents related to alimentary history can be divided into three major groups with regard to the Balassa family. The first contains account books and the purchasing lists. The second group is constituted by the inventories, and the third by those family letters that concern gastronomical issues. Seventeenth and eighteenth century sources mainly deal with the equipment of the kitchen, and occasionally with its arrangement. Nineteenth century documents clearly attest that the medieval open range had definitively disappeared from the family kitchens by the middle of the century.
