My Favorite Chocolate Cake

Frosé Ice Pops
There's no better way to celebrate warm, sunny days than by sharing these fruity rosé wine ice pops with friends.
Lemon Curd with Berries

The longer you can let this chicken rest in the marinade (up to 24 hours), the better the warm, aromatic, fiery spices will penetrate the meat.
Stout-Steamed Shellfish with Charred Onions
To serve this dish as a main course for eight, double the recipe over two pots and throw some warm baguettes on the table.
Gluten-Free Coconut Bread

The Barbecue Burger
Here’s a way to infuse the evocative spice and smoke flavors of true barbecue into a conventional fast-cooking burger. It uses a smoke-scented barbecue rub. I call it The Barbecue Burger; you might call it smoky nirvana.
Crab Cakes with Snap Pea Salad
A mixture of almond meal and cornmeal replaces traditional breadcrumbs in these scallion- and mint-packed crab cakes. The raw snap pea salad is crunchy and refreshing—and it’s the perfect way to complete the meal.
Sheet-Pan Brownie Thins
These sheet-pan brownies don't require any special equipment. The batter gets spread into a thin layer yielding rich, chewy brownies that are about 1/4-inch thick.
