Brownie Tart Recipe for #SundaySupper (2024)

Who is your favorite celebrity chef? Television and cooking shows have certainly given some chefs widespread popularity. Some I could watch anytime and others not so much. I watched The Food Network almost every day after I became a Domestic Goddess. I saw many shows several times over. I learned a lot and was inspired to try new things in the kitchen.

There are a few Food Network chefs that I watched most often. I admit I have not watched any food or cooking shows in a while. Cooking, baking, gardening, and blogging has taken the place of most of my TV watching time. When I did watch it, these were the chefs that stood out to me:

• Alton Brown – because of his humor and the information he provided.
• Giada De Laurentiis – because she would include family in her shows and how much I wish I could eat as much chocolate as shesupposedlydoes and be that thin.
• Paul Deen – because of Southern food and they way she can laugh at herself and make others laugh too. She has a great pound cake recipe I adapted to make an Eggnog Pound Cake.
• Emeril Lagasse – because his variety of recipes, especially the cajun/creole and Portuguese ones.
• Ina Garten – because of her love of entertaining, flowers, and gardening.
• Bobby Flay – because of his recipes for grilling.

Today’s Sunday Supper is about favorite chefs. Picking a favorite is difficult for me. I like many for different reasons. I decided to share one of Ina Garten’s recipes (slightly adapted). I have made this brownie tart on several occasions. It is rich and very chocolate-y. The sauce makes it even more rich and chocolate-y. Serve it with ice cream or whipped cream if you need to cut the chocolate richness with something. Me? I’ll take all that deep chocolate richness all by itself. Mmmm…
