The New Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book

"The New Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book" does not pretend to cover the whole body of cookery because the Pennsylvania Dutch traditionally make small use of certain foods. The recipes offered here are either indigenous to Pennsylvania or have through the years become incorporated into it cuisine. To fill the gaps would make small contribution to Pennsylvania Dutch cookery. The Pennsylvania Dutch make simple salads, about three kinds of cheese - their cheese dishes are usually cheese cake or cheese pie - and their manner of cooking fish is not unusual. So you will not find much of salad, cheese, or fish. As a matter of fact, the typical Pennsylvania Dutch menu is so generous and satisfying that it has little need for some of the time-killers that are used to clutter menus elsewhere. A full-rounded Pennsylvania dinner is not to be taken lightly. This cookery was brought from overseas with certain continental embellishments that were soon lost to the exigencies of pioneer life and it was adapted to become farm food for hearty trenchermen. In spite of the addition of many ingredients now available but unthought of in the early days, it is much the same today as in the beginning – Pennsylvania dinners are still man-size. So, unless possessed of a redoubtable appetite, you will do well to try these recipes one at a meal! This updated 1958 edition, compiled ten years after the book first made its appearance, includes many new recipes, some even better than those found in the original work!
