I love to cook and love to bake even more! This is especially true during fall and winter months. Sharing food is a favorite hobby. Colleagues don't ever seem to mind, and relatives each have a favorite recipe. Some recipes have been in my family for generations; others are brand new ones collected from friends or invented on the fly.
