This study aims to extract historically valuable information on the culinary heritage of post-war Poland and the housekeeping role attributed to women, with a specific focus on assessing the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in corpus analysis. The research began with an inquiry into the historical context of the notebooks. Three notebooks were digitised and stored in data repositories, then converted into editable vector text. The corpus was analysed with AI, and the results were compared with a text profile prepared by qualified linguists. According to the AI, the texts\u2019 characteristic features are descriptions of nearly ritual food preparation, serving, and table setting. Women appear as central figures in post-war Polish housekeeping, acting as guardians of the hearth and planners and preparers of meals. However, AI\u2019s interpretations were often overly idealised, with embellished descriptions that did not fully reflect the actual text. The digitisation and analysis of Granny Josie\u2019s Notebooks provided new information about the culinary heritage of post-war Poland and preserved these materials from oblivion, while offering insights into the potential application of LLMs in corpus analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/publications13040060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,20]],"date-time":"2025-11-20T13:25:27Z","timestamp":1763645127000},"page":"60","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Preserving Culinary Heritage Through AI: Sustainable Digitisation of Granny Josie\u2019s Notebooks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0534-8471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karol","family":"Kr\u00f3l","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Digital Cultural Heritage Laboratory, Department of Land Management and Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Land Surveying, University of Agriculture in Krakow, Balicka 253c, 30-198 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Szkutak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Foreign Language Unit, University of Agriculture in Krakow, al. 29 Listopada 52, 31-425 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"El\u017cbieta","family":"Legutko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Foreign Language Unit, University of Agriculture in Krakow, al. 29 Listopada 52, 31-425 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Assmann, J.
