AuthorNote: In the French Alps of the Haute-Savoie region, polenta is
lavishly mixed with cheese and cream, the prefect food for a cold winter
or apres-ski. Use a young sheep's milk cheese for this, one that is
flavorful but not too sharp.

ChupaNote: I added 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 tablespoon Herbes de
Provence.
