So what happens when you mix a little bit of Italy with the American South? For one thing, Apple and Country Ham Risotto happens. If you have never tasted the magical Italian dish of risotto, go and do that first. It is wonderful comfort food consisting of fat rice grains swimming in their own creamy sauce. I somehow managed to perfect the dish years ago, and it still finds its way into our hearts on cold winter nights. This tricked-out version, featuring diced apples and country ham is great in the fall.

Southerners love to cook, and I am no exception. After five decades of running a household, I have logged a lot of miles in the kitchen. I am not chef-trained, but I am family-tested-and-approved. A new paid feature of Southern Voice will be stories from my kitchen and the recipes they have produced.
