Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the Polish translation of The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook. The author provides examples which prove that Toklas’s book may be read as a functional text as well as an artistic cookbook. Nevertheless, the Polish translation narrow this possibility to functional text or a narration on cooking while the comments on its cultural, autobiographical and social aspects seem to be lost in translation.
