I'm also trying to understand what Herman Matos calls "Recovery Spreads"...

The term comes from the CBOE's pamphlet on the risks of option trading; you probably have a couple of copies lying around with your brokerage statements. It's also available on their website, cboe.com.

Basically, the Recovery Spread is just a covered call combined with a Bull Call Spread, where you use the same short call series for both positions. The profit graph looks like a covered call profit graph, but with a steeper curve between the long and short strike prices.

You can see examples on my site, webbindustries.com
