Flatbread Pizza
“I cook this until the pepperoni is crispy because it adds this salty, potato chip–like crunch to every bite. This is my go-to recipe for when I’m on vacation, staying in a rental with friends and need to make dinner. It doesn’t require much kitchen equipment, and it automatically makes me the most popular person in the house.” — Priya Krishna

Drumsticks With Peanuts and Lime
“Drumsticks are sort of impossible to screw up. Dark meat on a bone stays moist even if you overcook it. There was a time when I served these at every dinner party over the course of one summer.” – Devin Connell

Tomato Coconut Salsa
“I created this recipe several years ago when I needed to bring snacks to a potluck, and being who I am, I felt the need to make it at least a little bit Thai. So I got the idea to make a Thai version of chips and salsa, which simply meant that I would make a Thai salad, or a yum , with diced tomatoes. I decided to go with a more elaborate yum by adding coconut milk, Thai chili paste, toasted coconut, and peanuts to make it richer, and so that it wouldn’t just taste like a pico de gallo with fish sauce . . . not that that would be bad. It turned out to be a hit, which meant that it war- ranted sharing. It’s a delightful change from the usual chips and salsa, and you can even serve it over fish or chicken for dinner!” – Pailin Chongchitnant

Rodney’s Wings
“We found the sweet spot with these wings by smoking them for about 30 minutes and then chilling them until just before time to serve them. Then, after a quick fry, they’re just right. When you’re planning the timing of your meal, don’t forget that these wings need to be refrigerated for 1 hour before they are fried and served.” – Rodney Scott

Salt-Baked Yam Tacos (Yacos!)
“Presented for your consideration, the best plant-based taco, possibly ever? Roasting yams – oca, jicama, youlk or whatever you can find – on salt draws water out and intensifies the texture and flavor, so what you’re left with is the chew of chicken, with the lightness of fish. If you’re not in the mood to taco ‘bout it, turn this dish into a salad by omitting the tortillas and mozzarella and tossing everything together in a bowl instead.” – Alice Zaslavsky
