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.

The horseradish on these was a bit overwhelming for me. I liked that it was on a Ciabatta bun. I did saute some onions as suggested. I wasn't real happy with the tomatoes from the same page. I thought they lacked flavor. This is one of those recipes I'm glad I tried but wouldn't make again.
