You need to contact Floris and Hannah van Montfoort from the Shire of
Polderslot in Drachenwald - they've translated parts of various old
Dutch cookbooks. Have a look at the Polderslot page,
http://www.polderslot.nl/, Hannah is the Minister of Arts and her
email address should be there. Their article on Dutch cookery
appeared in the TI of Winter 1998, and it's webbed at
http://www.student.oulu.fi/~ferron/sca/as/articles/cookery.htm. I
recommend the apple pie with cottage cheese.
The other person who has translated Dutch recipes is Christina van
Tets, currently in Israel; I'm not sure what email address she's
using at the moment, but she used to be subscribed to this list - are
you there, Christina?
It's always annoyed me that there are several old Dutch cookbooks in
the library at the University of Cape Town; unfortunately, I don't
speak Dutch or Afrikaans.
