FARE Food Allergy Ball Returns To The Big Apple

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Dining out can be a scary experience for people with food allergies, especially not knowing if hidden ingredients can trigger a reaction.

Luckily, more chefs are making an effort to become "allergy aware." Every year, the Food Allergy Research and Education organization (FARE) honors those chefs in the annual Food Allergy Ball.

Charles Masson from Majorelle at the Lowell Hotel stopped by to chat about what's in store at this year's ball.

Below is the recipe for Majorelle's chocolate tort.
