Culinary SOS: Cucina Rustica's chocolate trio torte
Dear SOS: Last summer while vacationing in Sedona, Ariz., our family had a fabulous dinner at an Italian restaurant called Cucina Rustica. For dessert we had the most delicious three-chocolate mousse cheesecake. I would love to have this recipe. It is divine! I am hoping that you can procure this recipe.

Recipe: Pizzeria Ortica's budino di cioccolato
Dear SOS: I recently dined at Pizzeria Ortica in Costa Mesa and although the food was delicious, the budino di cioccolato (chocolate creme layered with caramel) was absolutely fabulous. With its creamy layers . . . it was the big star of the night. I would truly appreciate it if you could obtain the recipe for me. Thank you.

Recipe: Tortona chocolate cookies
Dear SOS: Please, please could you possibly get and publish the chocolate cookie recipe from Massimo's Delectables in Marina del Rey? They are frequently done in heart shapes and it seems to me that there are ground nuts plus cocoa in the dough. They are not very sweet and are somewhat like a butter cookie. I've never tasted anything like them. I'm drooling just writing this letter to you!
