About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I am a member of a great cookbook collectors group on yahoo called CookbooksEtCetera. I test recipes for Leite's Culinaria and Cook's Country Magazine. 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.

Fresh Corn Salad from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook

This is an excellent summer side dish. We make it with fresh corn cut from the cob just as Ina suggested. My son liked it without the basil and I liked it either way. Easy and delicious. read more >
