Vintage Folk Art Softcover Cookbook — Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook 1972 — Claire S. Davidow (Ed.) | Culinary Arts Press, Regional American Cookbook
$19.99$0.00
If you love regional cooking with real roots, this vintage Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook is a slim, charming time capsule of “fine old recipes” associated with early Dutch settlers in Pennsylvania.
It’s the kind of book that reads like a kitchen counter companion—practical, unfussy, and full of heritage staples meant to be shared.
Inside you’ll find traditional recipes (like Fastnachts doughnuts, Krum Kuchen crumb cake, Dutch pancakes, and hearty game dishes) plus black-and-white photos and simple illustrations sprinkled throughout.

Disclaimer
All items are vintage and may show minor signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history. Photos show the exact piece you’ll receive — please review them carefully, as they are part of the description.
While I do my best to capture colors accurately, your monitor or device may display colors slightly differently from the actual item.
-
Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.
-
Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
