Looking for information on Hudson Valley foods and history?? Check my books and articles on this region rich in agricultural, culinary and ethnic history. The earliest settlers, the Dutch, left a lasting mark on the Valley and on America's kitchen. My recipes are easy to cook, whether they date back 400 years, or were created only yesterday.
Food historian and award-winning author Peter Rose gives us an enlightening sampling of historical Dutch recipes adapted for the modern kitchen. From cookies and custards to savory dishes and salads, Rose shows that historical cooking—whether done over an open fire or on a stovetop—need not be a thing of the past. Rose includes an engaging overview of Dutch culinary history from the middle ages to the seventeenth century, giving readers a tour of the foodways of the Netherlands and New Netherland. The book, published by Syracuse University Press will be AVAILABLE FALL 2019.
