Edna Eby Heller's
Dutch Cookbook, Revised
and
Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking
DETAILS:
In 1683 the Plain Sects began to arrive in William Penn’s Colony,
seeking a land of peace and plenty. They were a mixed people; Moravians
from Bohemia and Moravia, Mennonites from Switzerland and Holland, the
Amish, the Dunkards, the Schwenkfelds, and the French Huguenots.
After
the lean years of clearing the land and developing their farms, they
established the peace and plenty they sought. These German-speaking
people were originally called the Pennsylvania Deutsch, but time and
custom have caused them to be known to us as the Pennsylvania Dutch.
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
home lands 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.
Food is abundant and appetites
are hearty in the Pennsylvania Dutch country. The traditional dishes
are relatively simple and unlike most regional cookery the ingredients
are readily available. Best of all, no matter who makes them the results
are “wonderful good.”
