It feels like I was born cooking. Most of my Southern recipes stem from my childhood years, helping prepare meals with my mother. They were never written down anywhere, until now. When I met my husband, I knew I was in for a challenge. He had grown up with all those wonderful Italian dishes that they are known for. The first time I cooked for him was a breakfast meal: scrambled eggs, bacon, grits and toast with jam. I can still see his face the first time he saw grits. But he cleaned his plate and has been smiling ever since. I searched through cookbooks looking for Italian recipes and asked my mother-in-law for a helping hand along the way. A few years later, we were fortunate enough to… have visited Italy on occasion. The food was fabulous. Surprisingly, not everything was smothered in tomato sauce! I copied this and that, asked a lot of questions, and came home with a fresh outlook on Italian cooking and started experimenting in my tiny kitchen.
