If, this weekend, you were looking for the perfect winter dish to spend a long afternoon preparing, one that will drive you mad with its luxuriously rich smells - red
San Francisco chocolatier Michael Recchiuti prepared the gooey marshmallow topping for this exquisite chocolate cake on a porch at Prather Ranch using just a hot plate and a hand-cranked beater. Recchiuti decorated the marshmallow with shards of his own graham crackers, but store-bought ones work just fine.
Shredded chicken, chipotle mayo, gooey cheese and fresh cilantro all tucked neatly into flaky pockets of deliciousness. Soon you'll be answering to Empanada Mama (or Papa).
