I am married and between my husband and I, we have 3 adult children. I have been cooking since I was about 20. I was never adventurous, mainly cooking your basics – spaghetti, meat loaf, fried chicken, that sort of thing. I am a good cook; I just never did any experimenting or entertaining. Then I met my husband. Having our families over for dinner became a regular occurrence. Suddenly I was entertaining, and had to learn very quickly more than just my basic, every-day type meals. I have learned a lot from the cooks on TV and from the reviews on the recipes from Allrecipes that I have tried. My cookbook file on my computer is mostly a compilation of recipes from Allrecipes, and some from the Food Network. It is fun for me to try new recipes and stretch out of my "cooking comfort zone". I can now master most recipes and friends and family love my cooking!
