Chicken in a Watermelon
“Consider the madness of roasting a hen inside a hollowed-out watermelon with soy sauce and a lemon,” Rozanne Gold wrote in 1994, when she brought this recipe to The Times, part of a roundup of April Fools’ Day recipes. It’s an unconventional recipe, with roots in Hawaii and meant to surprise. (Step 5 encourages cooks to show the full chicken and watermelon to guests before carving.) Do, as one commenter suggests, and have someone on hand to record the reactions. And what to do with the leftover watermelon pulp? Take Gold’s advice. “With some sugar, champagne and a little imagination, it makes a decent sorbet.”

Fresh herbs give this classic dip, adapted from America's Test Kitchen, its clean, fresh flavor and distinctive color; do not substitute dried herbs. For an accurate measurement of boiling water, bring a full kettle of water to a boil, then measure out the desired amount. Season with additional lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Steamed Artichokes With Lemon Butter
Large, plump artichokes are generally better for steaming than smaller ones. They may take longer to soften, but you’ll end up with plenty of meaty petals to pull off and dip into the lemon butter. This recipe gives instructions for steaming the artichokes in a traditional pot, but a pressure cooker (either electric or stovetop) is a faster option if you have one. See the Note below for instructions.
German Oven Pancake
Cooking with children requires patience and a deep tolerance for mess. It rewards magic tricks — true transformation of ingredients into something delicious. This recipe delivers, and how, with a pancake that puffs up beautifully as it cooks. You can top as suggested with warm applesauce, jam or maple syrup, or try fresh fruit and whipped cream instead. It’s a child-friendly recipe that will last for decades.

Game Day Nachos
Here is a heavily-loaded platter of shredded pork inflected with the flavors of cumin, coriander and lime, layered with tortilla chips and sliced radishes, flecks of scallion and leaves of cilantro, drifts of shredded cheddar and lime-scented sour cream, to be accompanied by hot sauce, napkins and beer. It is football-watching food, but doubles nicely as dinner for teens, young adults, anyone interested in the inhaling of the delicious. The pork is an all-day affair, requiring five to seven hours of roasting in a low oven so that the meat achieves a collapsing sweetness beneath a burnished crust. But the rest of the recipe is easy work indeed: bowls of the condiments may be combined on a platter with the shredded meat and diced skin in any manner you deem appetizing.
