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.

By Barbara Fairchild
Wiley - 2006

We all enjoyed this very much. Harold, Dexter, Sarita and I rarely all agree on a dish but this is one that we did. Andrew doesn't care for cheese or polenta so we made him something else. We liked the way the chunks of cheese didn't melt but was a bit like cheese curds in the finished dish. It was a real satisfying meal with a salad on this rainy Saturday. I know I'll be making this one again. I couldn't find pancetta so I did use thick cut bacon.
