Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate wider relations of social and cultural development in Slovenia of the 19th century by examining a number of Slovenian cookbooks from that period. The author follows the ways of forming the genre’s national variety, as well as its language, functional, literary, cultural, and social characteristics. The development of the genre seems to go through changes in connection with the development of politics of education and the beginnings of women’s movement. A closer look at the genre of cookbooks confirmed its considerable significance in the development and maturing of contemporary Slovenian culture and society in general. The study also points out the stratification of the genre according to different types of target readers who initially came only from the bourgeoisie circles, but later from lower social classes as well.
