[Sca-cooks] OOP: Art exhibit about 17th c. Dutch food

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

I stumbled across this link, and thought it might interest someone.

"MATTERS OF TASTE: Food and Drink in 17th Century Dutch Art and Life"
will be on display at The Albany Institute of History & Art (Albany, NY), and
will run from September 21 through December 9.

 The exhibition will contain 17th century 60 Dutch paintings, and is "the first
exhibition to explore the role of food and drink in the art and life of Holland
in the 17th century and their influences in the New World, especially in New
Netherland, and in American traditions that last to the present day. The
exhibition is linked to Albany in many ways and will include objects from
the Albany Institute Historic Cherry Hill and First Church, Albany (Dutch
Reformed); recipes and correspondence about Albany kitchens from the
Van Rensselaer Family, and an essay by Charles Gehring of the New
Netherland Project."
