Celebrate the bounty of the sea with this lush seafood risotto, studded with sweet chunks of lobster and king crab.

Savoury, umami porcini powder is the secret to these indulgent short ribs, a sophisticated entrée that is sure to impress but is easy to make ahead of time. Meaty short ribs are braised in red wine and stock until they are meltingly tender. Before serving, they are topped with a buttery mixture of garlic and sautéed mushrooms. Serve the ribs with mashed potatoes, polenta or even pillowy gnocchi to soak up every last bit of the porcini-infused sauce.
Dark chocolate and red wine join to create a luxuriously smooth pot de crème.
