This is so California man. Another wacky dish that's more of a technique than a recipe. Salt and chocolate always perform really well together because salt heightens chocolate's flavor.

The first time I had sweet potato cheesecake was at the famed Galatoire’s in New Orleans. The exact Galatoire’s recipe is, well, a bit caloric. Instead, here is an ever so slightly healthier version of sweet potato cheesecake, perked up with a nutty ginger crust.+ READ MORE

We're doing a little baking today using lemon. This recipe calls for the whole thing, peel and all. This is not really a kid-friendly dessert as the peel can be a bit bitter and freak them out. If you can, use a less acidic variety of lemon like Meyer or Pomona Sweet.+ READ MORE

These are downright wicked, so chocolaty and nutty. The addition of the almond meal is what makes them. Make sure to use brown sugar because it helps moisten the dough a little.
