Grilled Roast Chicken With Spinach-Ricotta Crostini
This whole chicken cooked on the grill is truly a best-of-both-worlds recipe: You get the incredibly succulent meat and brittle-crisp, burnished skin of a roast chicken, combined with the deep smoky flavor of the grill. To make it, you essentially use your grill like an outdoor oven, cooking a whole splayed chicken in a skillet instead of directly on the grill grate. Splaying the bird first — that is, flattening the legs so they lay flat in the skillet — helps the dark meat cook quickly and evenly. The skillet helps to distribute the heat and captures the juices, which would otherwise incinerate in the fire. Those juices are then put to good use as a cooking medium for dill-flecked, garlicky spinach. The greens absorb all of the chicken drippings before being heaped upon ricotta-smeared crostini. Added bonus: You don’t have to worry about setting off your smoke detector. Here, the smoke stays in the grill with the bird, which is exactly where you want it.

This recipe is inspired by a salsa featured in a Mexican restaurant we visit when in Los Angeles. It is sweet/tart, fruity and a little spicy. These wings are very easy (and addictive). You can wing it with a greater or lesser number of wings as the recipe as written gives you more salsa than needed.

Paal Payasam (3-Ingredient Rice Pudding)
There is a rather endearing practice common to almost all communities in India. At the first hint of anything positive and good in the horizon, any good news—a promotion at work, good grades in school, a college acceptance letter, news of a distant relative's pregnancy, the Indian cricket team scoring a win, doesn't matter what—30 minutes later there invariably will be a sweet dessert ready to share as a thanksgiving. In my house, it's a simple rice pudding known as paal payasam. Its a snap to make. Its not quite as thick as the English version, more like a thick soup.

Thick Crispy Fried Potatoes
These crispy fried potatoes are what we crave for every season, at least once per season. Sometimes we would make really thin ones, otherwise exactly these, a bit thicker. Thank you Heston Blumenthal for doing the research for us, on how to make the perfect homemade fries. In our opinion, these give a bit more of a homemade feel, but not because they would be random, and not delicious, no, no, no. Every bite represents the perfect indulgence, that our soul and body need from time to time. So here you go, our version of a perfect three stage fries.
