No, the original cookbook was not published in New
Amsterdam, but it was published in Amsterdam. 
However, a copy of the Dutch cookbook was found in the
library of one of the oldest Dutch families in New
York.  The book, its title is correctly "The sensible
cook : Dutch foodways in the Old and the New World",
does have some New World recipes in it taken from
letters and diaries IIRC, but it is mostly redacts the
Dutch cookbook.
