Puffy Corn Omelet

A quick and healthy breakfast choice.

Rose Petal and Pistachio Raspberry Custard

Eddy was inspired by his Afghan mother-in-law's recipe for firni, traditionally a special-occasion milk pudding with pistachios and cardamom. The subtle rose flavors blend well in this only slightly sweet simple custard with green, red, and white colors. It can be made a day ahead and served at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Banana FroYo

Grilled Turmeric and Lemongrass Chicken Wings

Cooking the wings slowly over medium-low coals and turning them often makes for crisp results; the skin will brown while the meat cooks through. Be sure to begin 1 day ahead; the chicken needs to marinate overnight for the flavors to infuse.

Grilled Vegetable and Rice Salad With Fish-Sauce Vinaigrette

All of these dishes would benefit from a scoop of rice on the side, but Pelaccio's twist on northeastern Malaysia's rice salad is meant to be served over the grains. (He prefers jasmine.) The smoky grilled vegetables are enlivened by a generous final flourish of fresh herbs.

Grilled Shrimp with Chile, Cilantro, and Lime

You bought the freshest-looking shrimp, baby squid, or whole fish you could find. Now what? Follow Pelaccio's road map for any kind of seafood: Marinate it in turmeric and fish sauce, grill it quickly over high heat, then pair it with a fiery dipping sauce.

Steak Skewers with Scallion Dipping Sauce

Pelaccio flips the kebab script by cubing luxurious cuts of steak and marinating them in coconut milk, garlic, and chiles. Try this with tri-tip, top sirloin cap steak, or rib eye; just make sure a strip of fat is still intact; you'll use it to thread onto the skewers.

Chocolate Semifreddo with Chile-Chocolate Sauce

The keys to a light, airy semifreddo that melts in your mouth? Just enough sugar to sweeten it and keep it soft in the freezer. Also, "gently folding and not overmixing," says Laiskonis. Go over the top by serving it with cinnamon whipped cream and chile-chocolate sauce (or use store- bought chocolate sauce).

Melon Carpaccio with Lime

Try this refreshing dessert with other firm, ripe fruit, including pineapple, peaches, or plums. Chill any leftover syrup for sweetening iced tea or cocktails.

Green Charmoula

Spread this punchy chile-herb sauce on grilled flatbread or drizzle it over grilled seafood.

Chicken Under a Brick with Avocados and Chiles

This technique encourages even cooking with the crispiest skin imaginable. The key to success is to cook the chicken over medium-low coals so the skin slowly renders out the fat. As for those grilled avocados, you're in for a treat. They're already our go-to side this summer.

Ancho Chile Oil

Keep this versatile oil in your fridge so you can use it to enliven salads and anything grilled—especially flatbreads, fish, steak, and vegetables.

Charred Green Beans with Harissa and Almonds

Use this easy, vibrant homemade harissa to transform charred green beans (or any grilled veggies) into a wonderful side dish all season long.

Spicy Turkey Burgers

Grilled Kale Salad with Ricotta and Plums

Quickly grilling kale makes it crispy. Pairing it with fresh plums and ricotta transforms it into our new favorite salad.

Clinched Double-Wide Loin Lamb Chops

When Pete and I tried this in London, we were amazed. It's probably what made us decide to do a whole chapter in clinching. Lamb that doesn't flare up, leaving a slick black residue, is the Holy Grail of every lamb griller. You can cook these chops quickly, with no flame, to produce a beautiful crust and, on the inside, á point (perfect) lamb. For the most part I avoid clinching with bone-in pieces, but here the bone doesn't affect the cooking at all—it's essentially just a way of holding the two loin sections together, which makes for a different presentation from a typical lamb chop. You'll need to get these chops from a specialty butcher. This cut—two sections of loin joined by a bone—is called a Barnsley chop in England and an English chop among old-time American butchers.

Butter Baste

Four Seasons Blend

Board Dressing

Once I have grilled a piece of meat, I want to capture the flavors of the delicious juices that emerge on the cutting board when I slice it and then build upon them, so I make what I call a board dressing. I often add some olive oil, or some of the rendered fat trimmings from the baste, or perhaps a little balsamic vinegar, to the juices.

Mesclun Salad with Veggies, Goat Cheese, and Crispy Garlic

Fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff shared this recipe for one of her favorite salads—it's an updated take on a salad her Mom made when she was growing up in San Diego. We've included quantities for all the ingredients, but Minkoff encourages you to make this dish your own and to taste as you go. For more on Minkoff and to take a video tour of her New York City kitchen, see In the Kitchen with Rebecca Minkoff.
