[Sca-cooks] let the loot season begin...

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

Ok, the generic winter holiday gift-giving season has begun. I have 
recieved a copy of _Matters of taste: food and drink in 17th-century 
Dutch art and life_ with the included pamphlet, _Matters of Taste: Dutch 
Recipes with an American Connection_. (more details about it in some of 
the links below). Visually it's gorgeous, and I find the recipes 
interesting (there's a 1753 recipe for sweet pretzels, among other 
things.

By the way, I gave in exchange an apron that said "So much to do, so few 
people to do it for me!"
