[Sca-cooks] Period pretzel recipes?

[Stefan li Rous]

Johnnae mentioned:
  <<< Peter G. Rose in her books Matters of Taste and The Sensible Cook
includes information on sweet Dutch pretzels. She includes a recipe for
Krakelingen in the book of recipes that accompanies Matters of Taste.
Rose notes that the first printed pastry and baking cookbook in the
Netherlands appeared in the mid-18th century.>>>

So, is this recipe mid-18th century? Or are you saying there is  
evidence for sweet Dutch pretzels but no recipe shows up until the  
mid-18th century?

In a later message you give:
"Food historian Peter G. Rose, co-author of Matters of Taste, Food and
Drink in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Art and Life"

So 17th century, not mid-18th. so I'm a bit confused.

Thanks,
   Stefan
