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.

Love trying new to us tomato pies and tarts during tomato season. I used white cheddar for this. Instead of making the crust recipe in the book I used a bought crust. We enjoyed this version but like the one I keep coming back to every year from Roy F that contains mayonnaise and a combination of cheeses.
