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.

We made this with some homegrown tomatoes and the flavor was out of this world. I will make again.

A delicious chocolate cake. Great with the frosting on page 167. I love the flavor that coffee gives to this cake and a good cup along side is great also.

None of us really cared for these. I won't be making them again.
