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.

Oh my these were fantastic. Loved the little bite of chipotle powder. Next time I'll gild the lily and add the suggested Venezuelan Spiced Chocolate Ganage from page 27.

These were amazing. So moist and loved the cream cheese mixture for the filling. Made these with my 15 year old great-niece. She's been baking and cooking with me since she was very young. She's becoming a great cook. We frosted them with the Chocolate Ganache from page 27.

This an excellent frosting for cakes and cupcakes. We used it on the Secret Filling Devil's Food Cupcakes from page 155.
