Mascarpone – (mahs-kahr-POH-neh) A soft, white, fresh, cream cheese from the Lombardy region of southern Italy. It is made by adding tartaric acid to the cream skimmed off milk. It is very creamy and frequently used in Italian desserts.

Polenta – (poh-LEHN-tah) Polenta is a cornmeal mush or porridge that originated in Northern Italy as a peasant food. Though most typically made with coarse yellow cornmeal, polenta can also be made from finely ground yellow or white cornmeal. Traditional recipes call for slow cooking in water or broth, though much of the cooking time can be unattended. Modern shortcuts include the use of instant or precooked polenta. Polenta is often served as a soft, thick mush, which may be topped with sauce, a hearty ragoût , or cheese. Cooked polenta can also be cooled until firm and cut into wedges, rounds, or other shapes, which can be baked, grilled, or pan-fried.
