About Cooking To Entertain
Hi I’m Kodi! Welcome to Cooking to Entertain – a recipe blog I started to showcase some of my favorite dishes to cook for dinner parties and friendly gatherings.
The dishes range from simple and quick, to impressive and time consuming. Do you want to spend 4 days crafting an elegant entremet cake? I can show you how. What about a quick 30 minute or less weeknight meal? You can also find that here!
Of course, I do tend to specialize. Passed hors d’oeuvres or canapes pop up on this site often, as well as ethnic dishes since I’m an avid traveler. In fact I have a personal rule that I take a local cooking class in every place I visit; I’m always learning new and authentic recipes from all over the world!
