Perfect for chocolate lovers and people who can't have gluten! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten free. Serve warm — either topped with whipped cream or dusted with powdered sugar — alongside a scoop of ice cream. For a chocolate ganache topping, see footnotes!

Danielle's Seafood Chowder
I wanted to serve a different dish from the usual seafood casserole so I played with the dish and came up with this.
TriBeCa Artichoke Dip
This was my secret recipe and now I am sharing with the universe. Enjoy! I always recommend low-sodium salt and cracked black pepper or peppercorns. Green chiles can be substituted for pickled jalapenos. This is great for a dip with seasoned crackers, chips, or vegetables.
Not-Barbecued Short Ribs
A slow-cooked crock of short ribs that is easy to prepare, tasty, very tender and offer a Polynesian twist. Great over rice. Great as a potluck dish.
