Book Description
Amazon.com
Long before the rest of America decided to get back to healthy basics in their cooking and eating habits, the Pennsylvania Dutch were happily living off the land. Among their fertile, rolling hills and lush green fields, these farm folk
speak about their distinctive cuisine in a language that, in some parts of the United States, has been spoken longer than English. Pennsylfaanisch names grace every recipe in Pennsylvania Dutch Country Cooking, and to help non-Pennsylfaanisch speakers
with pronunciation, there's a guide and even a glossary of additional food terms. But what's in a name? It's the cooking that counts in this compendium of more than 100 authentic recipes that are both delicious and healthy. There are recipes for breads,
soups and noodles, meats, vegetables, and even a section for special holiday feasts. There are beverages such as Wheatland Harvest Tea, made from spearmint, lemon balm, tarragon, and bergamot leaves; desserts such as Hickory Nut Dumplings, served with
stewed peaches; and recipes for rye, buckeye, sourdough, and potato breads, among many others.
As if the recipes alone weren't enough, Pennsylvania Dutch Country Cooking is brimming with photographs of the countryside, the gardens, the people,
and, of course, the foods of this special place. This is a book that feeds the soul as well as the body, a feast for the eyes as well as the table.
