oooooooooooooooh! that dutch cooking thing looks GOOD. Peter Rose, who is leading the discussion is actually a woman and wrote a FABULOUS cookbook called "Foods Of The Hudson" that cooks through the seasons based on what should traditionally be available. She's dutch, and as far as i can tell from the book has an encyclopedic knowledge of farmers and purveyors in and around NYC. This sounds like a must do!
here's her website: http://www.peterrose.com/
heads up for tomorrow from timeout NY:
Rob Kaufelt, owner of MurrayÂ’s Cheese, will sign copies of his new pocket-sized guide, The MurrayÂ’s Cheese Handbook, in his shop on Bleecker Street. Samples will be served.
