Cookbooks are currently a very popular literary genre in the field of gastronomy, but this was not always the case. Until the end of the 19th century, cookbooks were intended only for wealthy middle-class female readers. The study tries to show that the situation changed at the beginning of the 20th century, and cookbooks that were unprecedented before 1900 appeared. Their authors began to focus on particular groups of diners, types of ingredients, and different ways of eating. They also aimed at lower social classes, such as the working class and the countryside. The first cookbooks inspired by foreign gastronomy or the new dietary phenomenon – vegetarianism – were also produced. The development was also influenced by several historical events, such as World War I, when several war cookbooks were written. The female authors of cookbooks are an important aspect in the research on gastronomy. They are no longer just experienced housewives who share their recipes and advice, but include women dealing with education, and health and food science. Some of the authors‘ names are still well-known today.

Female authors of scientific works were few in the eighteenth century in comparison with the increasing production of male writers. Their limited presence in the scientific panorama of the period could, therefore, account for the lack of research on how these women wrote or the sort of linguistic strategies they were familiar with from a present-day perspective. Some external considerations should be also reckoned as of paramount importance: on the one hand, science as such was an underdeveloped concept at the moment. Male writers were busy in an attempt to set the grounds of science and to determine the best linguistic choices to convey scientific knowledge. On the other, it was not socially accepted that women somehow involved themselves in matters other than those such as the family or the household, or similar matters. The results obtained from the linguistic analysis point to a predominant use of modality indicating prediction and necessity in contrast to hypothetical constructions and recognizable verbs of persuasion. It follows from this that it is a modulated discourse constrained to a certain extent by the social norms of the period.
