I'm all for multi-tasking, so of course I was intrigued with the idea of making a classic fall dessert while grilling dinner outdoors. Instead of turning on the oven and heating up the kitchen, Chef Mario Batali bakes this crisp over off-set heat in a covered grill. While the juicy apples are bubbling away, you can grill a quick dinner directly over the coals--perhaps pork chops, thick zucchini slices, and par-boiled fingerling potatoes. Dessert is ready when you are, served with either sweetened yogurt (as directed in the recipe) or vanilla ice cream. And the kitchen stays cool as a cucumber!

Recipe is terrific as written. However, if the breast bone is removed and the meat weighted down in order to become flat this dish becomes company special. Reduce baking time and put turkey on a baking rack in the roasting pan.

Wow! A wonderful take on the classic Italian sausage and peppers. This recipe adds a bit more heat and additional vegetables to up the flavor. Do not forget the bread because you will need it to get the very last bite of this taste sensation. A crisp green salad with cooling citrus vinaigrette rounds out a flavor packed meal. This recipe is so good that although it says it serves 8, if you work at it 2 people can put a really big dent in it! Trust me on this! Be sure to remember to use latex or rubber gloves while working with the serrano and habanero chiles and to keep your hands away from your eyes. If you do not own a cast iron skillet, buy one. It will be worth it if all you ever cook in it is this recipe.
