About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Chocolate

By Susan Branch
Cedco Pub - 2000

his is a cute little book, 4 1/2 inches wide by 6 1/4 inches tall and 32 pages long. I love Susan Branch's books, filled with her drawings and hand written. It only contains a dozen recipes but what recipes they are.

If you're a Chocolate lover then you'll love this little book. The names of the recipes are written in different colored inks but the recipes themselves are in black. Some people might not like the cursive handwritten recipes and may even find it hard to read, but I think it gives the book a special feel along with Susan's art work and cute little sayings.
