Potatoes au GratanThis recipe was adapted from a little booklet put out in the 1930s by Westinghouse and Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. for the new electric range and oven. It contained 7 meals, each of which could be baked together in the oven. I've cut out this item and made it work and boy is it good. One note, I stopped peeling potatoes years… |

Basic Easy Pie CrustFor my grandmother, Eva Koehler, this was what passed for "easy." For me, easy means opening the box and removing the sleeve, cutting the end and removing the roll of pie dough then un-rolling the dough and placing it in a greased 9" pan. Translations have been made where appropriate. This is one of a very few recipes in her book… |

Grandma Koehler's Pumpkin PieGrandma Koehler preferred the long neck green stripe pumpkin (actually a gourd) for her pies. The result was that in addition to the unique taste the filling was stringy, much like spaghetti. If you are not that venturesome, any good pumpkin will work just fine with this recipe. It is not an easy recipe but it includes a number of… |

New Years Day DinnerIt is traditional in the Pennsylvania Dutch communities to eat sauerkraut on the first day of the year. Some suggest that it is for good luck, others simply enjoy the tradition. But under the column marked "it can't hurt" lets have pork and sauerkraut for the main meal of the day on January 1. |

PA Dutch Cooking
Pennsylvania Dutch Cookery is one of the oldest and most distinctive of the many regional styles of cooking in the United States. The Rhineland and Palatinate peoples, who came to this country and settled in Pennsylvania beginning in 1683, were properly called Pennsylvania Dutch because they left their native lands due to religious persecution and settled temporarilly in the Netherlands. Netherlanders are called Dutch while their German neighbors are called Deutch. The PA Dutch brought with them a love of good food as well as a knowledge of good cooking. Recipes from the old country were adapted to use the limited ingredients available in a pioneer land.
PA Dutch Cooking includes recipes from the Anabaptist, Mennonite and Dunkard people living in South Central PA. My own expertise is from PA Dutch foods from Lancaster County (and a little Lebanon County mixed in). My ancestors were from Bavaria and Switzerland.
