A dessert doesn't get more simple or maybe more satisfying than Carol Ritchie's Strawberries Kissed with Dark Chocolate.
"A little chocolate pumps up the flavor," Ritchie said.
Ritchie also thinks it's a perfect dish where kids can help. Give them a small butter knife or paring knife, and they can be part of the process from prepping to eating.

"Just do one new concept a day, one new recipe a day. I'm sure everyone out there has cookbooks you can thumb through, but just focus on that one and build from there," Ritchie said. "And I always say you gotta cook fearlessly. If it's a mistake, it's not a mistake. it's just a new recipe."
