I love brownies. And reading about the world's rising gluten intolerance on the Huffington Post Kitchen Daily, I found an interesting recipe from Ilva Berretta for chick pea and pecan gluten free brownies. The article made me wonder if my heavy wheat consumption is responsible for recent headaches, sinus congestion and other ailments. But for now, I'm sticking with the old fashioned type of brownie. 

Reaching into my files for a recipe from re-knowned pastry chef Dieter Schorner, I found something simple, fudgy, cakey, gooey and filled with cherries! I haven't gone back to this formula for so long, but since I have been trying to make new items for upcoming parties at work, what a better excuse then now to bake them!
