There is one late period Dutch cookbook "VerstandigeKok" which has been translated into English by PeterRose. It is called "The sensible cook : Dutch foodways in the Old and New World", published by Syracuse University Press, in 1989. ISBN 0815602413.
It is quite a good book. If you can't find a copy to purchase, then it is in quite a few university libraries.

Cairistiona (and anyone else who's interested in this): if you're
translating Dutch cookbooks, you may want to contact Hannah of
Hanecnolle and her husband Floris von Montfort, who have done a lot
of work in this area. (You may have already spoken to them,
Cairisitiona, they are in Polderslot and you might have met them
while you were in Belgium). They had an article on Dutch cookery in
TI a while back. The article is up on the Drachenwald Arts and
Sciences page, at
http://www.student.oulu.fi/~ferron/sca/as/articles/cookery.htm
Floris and Hannah's email addresses are also there, floris_5 at dds.nl
or argent at dds.nl.

There is an early Dutch cookbook, I think either sixteenth or
seventeenth century; it's been published (in Dutch) as "Het Eerste
Nederlandsche Gedrukte Kookboek." I have a photocopy, and I vaguely
remember that one of the European SCA people, possibly Dutch, was
working with it.

There are some Dutch cookbooks on the web, but there aren't that many
actual redactions. You should check out Christine Muuser's page
(http://www.coquinaria.nl/english/) where she does kind of a "recipe
of the month" and archives them.
I am translating "Eenen seer schoonen ende excellenten Cocboeck" by
Carolus Battus and there has already been a feast cooked using recipes
from my translation (housed at
http://www.medievalcooking.org/cookscollegiummenu.doc). The ones that
the cook chose are just incredible, especially the chicken stuffed
with bacon, garlic, and currants (something i've served at parties and
people *love* it).
Dutch cooking is kind of my "thang", and i'd love to talk to you more
about it, so feel free to contact me off list if you'd like.

also, take a look at Christine Musser's translations from 3
manuscripts: http://www.coquinaria.nl/kooktekst/index.htm
let me now if you get stuck at Dutch texts, I'm a native speaker, and
can read semi-decent middeaval dutch :)

Has anyone mentioned 'Sensible Cook' by Peter Rose (1600-ish book
from New Netherlands) and 'Matters of Taste' - great Dutch paintings
from period showing food, with recipes also by Peter Rose.

It's called "Matters of Taste" and you can get details from Peter
Rose's website: http://www.peterrose.com/books.html.
I've had the privilege of thumbing through it and it's just an
amazingly beautiful book.
