Summary: Recipes and Traditions
Review: Dutch Touches expands Penfield's original edition, Delightfully Dutch, to include articles by Marvin Hiemstra about growing up Dutch in Pella, Iowa, and his essay on how to visit the Netherlands. Writer Heimstra was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for his poetry.

Among other new touches is writer Margaret Kleis of Holland, Michigan, an immigrant after World War II. She tells of her family in Holland, and their participation in the underground sheltering Jewish refugees and downed American pilots.

Favorite articles by Carol Van Klompenburg who authored the original book, Delightfully Dutch and Dutch Treats, are included.

All recipes from both original books are found in Dutch Touches.

Cover photographs in full color show tulips at the Scholte gardens in Pella, Iowa, on the front cover, and the dancers of Holland, Michigan, on the back cover.
