Synopsis

The Pennsylvania Dutch are a hard working people and as they say, "Them that works hard, eats hearty." The blending of recipes from their many homelands and the ingredients available in their new land produced tasty dishes that have been handed down from mother to daughter for generations. Their cooking was truly a folk art requiring much intuitive knowledge, for recipes contained measurements such as "flour to stiffen", "butter the size of a walnut", and "large as an apple." Many of the recipes have been made more exact and standardized providing us with a regional cookery we can all enjoy. With over 200 recipes, you are sure to find some very special dishes that you just have to try. Here are just a few that might catch your fancy: Hot Dutch Potato Salad Dutch Hot Slaw Chicken Corn Soup Sauerbraten Chicken Fricassee Pennsylvania Dutch Beef with Onions Dutch Meat Loaf Ham and Green Bean Potatoes Fried Scrapple Sweet and Sour Beets Dutch Potato Croquettes Red Cabbage Bread and Butter Pickles Scalloped Spinach Apple Fritters Potato Pancakes Fastnachts (Raised Doughnuts) Shoo-Fly Pie There's even an old York County recipe for something called Tangled Britches that sounds sort of like pieces of cinnamon doughnuts that get tangled up during frying and are then dusted with powdered sugar. You will even learn how to make your own Funnel Cakes, not to mention the wonderful Moravian Christmas Cookies and the Sour Cream Raisin pie. This book is such a rare find, it would surely make a wonderful gift!
