Abstract
The article presents a dozen or so methods of quantifying amounts used in the oldest Polish culinary books. The material is based on the works published for the first time in the Monumenta Poloniae Culinaria series edited by Jerzy Dumanowski. Determining the quantity in the culinary discourse was associated not only with counting, using measures of volume and weight, but also with the use of human body parts, vessels, items treated as a standard to measure products, determining the mutual proportions of products, as well as subjective assessments of quantity resulting from observing the process of preparing dishes.
