The most favored Dutch cookbook of the seventeenth century, The Sensible Cook (De Verstandige Kock) had a major impact on the foodways of the Dutch in the Netherlands and in their New World territories.

As a part of the larger work, The Pleasurable Country Life, The Sensible Cook records the foodways of rich middle-class households, the cooking methods and typical dishes they prepared, and the implements and ingredients they employed.

Often the recipes are surprisingly sophisticated. From braising a chicken with orange peel and cinnamon to stuffing pigeons with a mixture of parsley, ginger, sugar, butter, and raisins, many of the dishes are still appealing today. Peter G. Rose has, in fact, adapted some two dozen of the recipes for contemporary use--tempting dishes such as "Shoemaker's Cake," a delicious combination of bread crumbs, butter, eggs, and stewed apples.

Handsomely illustrated with Dutch genre paintings, The Sensible Cook will interest cooks, food historians, students of social and cultural history, and the large number of Dutch descendants in America. Most important, this book will be welcomed by all who enjoy good food.

Not as good as the Brown bear brown bear, but my kids love this book
Format: Board book
This book is a sequel to Brown Bear Brown bear and it is a visually appealing book that my kids love. My one complaint is that this book is all about what you hear, but they used many animals that people don't know what sounds they make. I have looked up how flamingos flute on YouTube and this is not a sound I can replicate. Don't make the sounds up either unless everyone who reads to your kids is in on your idea of what zebras sound like. Trust me, your toddler will notice. Aside from that flaw, the book is one my kids ask for again and again and this is in fact my second copy of this book, the first one was loved to death.

⭐ Eco-Friendly and Great Quality Cotton Swabs 🤍✨
These Q-tips cotton swabs are excellent quality and very reliable. I love that they’re made with biodegradable paper sticks, which makes them a more eco-friendly option. The cotton is soft yet secure, and they work perfectly for beauty, cleaning, and everyday use. With 500 in the pack, you get a great quantity for the price. Definitely a staple I always keep on hand 😊✨
