A Fulda cookbook from the year 1823
Since 1996, 19 November has been unofficially celebrated as National Soup Day in Germany. This curious holiday gives us the opportunity to draw attention to the Fulda Cookbook, which was published in 1823 and is available in its entirety in digital form on our digitisation portal FulDig. The printed book is one of the 7,328 volumes of the Schwank’schen Stiftung, which Adam Joseph Schwank bequeathed to the Fulda State Library during his lifetime.
Number 29 is the ‘Johann Adam soup’. Johann Adam Neuland is said to have created the recipe as personal chef to the Prince-Abbot of Fulda in 1755. We reproduce the recipe here in full, with some linguistic adjustments:
"Several slices of milk bread with the crusts removed are soaked in water and then squeezed out so that the absorbed water is removed. A piece of fresh butter is heated in a pot, the bread slices are added and roasted until a stiff porridge is formed. It is then removed from the heat and hot water is poured over it, after which everything is simmered together for half an hour.
Before serving, pour the liquid through a sieve into a soup tureen, in which some sweet cream, a few egg yolks and a little nutmeg have already been whisked together, add a few grains of salt and serve immediately. If you use meat stock instead of water, this soup will be even more flavourful. In any case, it is a particularly good evening soup."
The HLSB Fulda wishes you ‘Guten Appetit’ as you discover more recipes and try them out!

The open-access.network
The open-access.network brings together comprehensive knowledge on open access publishing. You will find helpful information, practical guides and illustrative materials on all important topics – from the basics of open access to financing and publication models to legal issues such as licensing or the contents of publishing contracts.
It also offers online self-study courses and event information from the open access community. The oa.talk event series features various online workshops and seminars on a range of topics related to open access.
The portal is supported by the Communication, Information and Media Centre (KIM) at the University of Konstanz and several scientific institutions that are working together to pool knowledge and provide long-term support for the open access transformation in Germany.
