My husband and I love to have dinner parties. We have 20 couples who come to dinner at least 4 times a year. I am retired and have lots of time to cook. I like baking cheesecakes, casseroles and any interesting new recipe I can find. I have more than 100 cookbooks, but find it is much easier and faster to check out Allrecipes. My sister is also a gourmet cook, and we each cook every other holiday. I always cook Thanksgiving and she cooks Christmas dinner. One of my recipes was featured in the Baltimore Sun years ago. Our friends always ask for my recipes. Sometimes I have to garnish my cheesecakes because some of them crack.
