I'm a very picky eater, so I'm not that fun to cook for. I love cooking for others though! My favorite thing is to have themed cocktail parties. I try different recipes from a specific region and everyone seems to really enjoy learning new flavors and ingredients. I love to bake cakes, Italian, and Mexican foods. We don't have many traditions except for Christmas Eve is always at my grandmother's. Everyone brings their favorite cookies and finger foods. I love to bake for Christmas! I made my mom a chicken pasta one night for dinner. It was beautiful and delicious. My mom usually eats light, but that night she had seconds and dessert! I tried to make a meatball spaghetti for my dad's birthday a few years ago. Since there were going to be about 10 people I decided to double a recipe I had gotten. Well I didn't allow enough time to cook before everyone started showing up. I started rushing around and forgetting parts of the recipe. Everything I cooked that day came out bland and mediocre at best.
