4th of July Wafer Torte

Image
If you don't want to heat up your kitchen but still want a spectacular looking dessert, this Wafer Torte is the answer. Thin tort wafers layer with yogurt cream, Nutella, and rose petal preserve, then soften in the refrigerator into a cake-like texture. Topped with strawberries, boysenberries, and a balsamic rose whipped cream, it is an easy, travel-friendly dessert for a 4th of July celebration. https://the-good-plate.com/wafer-torte #WaferTorte #4 oBakeDessert #4 thOfJuly #SummerDessert #RedWhiteAndBlue #TheGoodPlate #NoBakeRecipe #PatrioticDessert #StrawberryDessert #EasySummerRecipes

What's Cookin'? The Grill!

Image
This month's newsletter celebrates summer the way it deserves — with burgers. The Rosemarie Turkey Burger solves the dryness problem turkey burgers usually have, the Pimento Cheese Burger (aka Juicy Lucy) hides a molten cheese center, and Salmon Cakes round things out for anyone wanting something lighter. It's also America's 250th birthday this July 4th, which felt like the right month to launch our Stovetop Smoking course — learn to smoke meat, fish, and vegetables indoors with nothing but a heavy pot and wood chips. Read the full newsletter for the Healthy Broccoli Salad Two Ways, Ricotta Stuffed Dessert Crepes, and this month's kitchen tool review.

Pimento Cheese Juicy Lucy Burger

Image
  Pimento cheese belongs inside the patty, not on top. The Pimento Cheese Juicy Lucy Burger seals creamy, tangy pimento cheese between two thin seasoned beef patties. As the burger cooks, the cheese melts from within into a molten pocket that stays contained in every bite. Season the beef with Black Magic steak seasoning for a dark, flavorful crust, then build the Everyday Version with shredded cabbage, white onion, and Thousand Island dressing. Or take it further with the Full Send: crispy bacon, bacon jam, and caramelized onions on ciabatta.

Inside-Out Father's Day

Image
Father's Day is the most underrated holiday on the calendar. Mother's Day gets six weeks of restaurant reservations and prix fixe menus. Father's Day gets a steakhouse special and a card rack. That is not right, and this year The Good Plate is doing something about it. The Inside-Out Father's Day menu covers a full table from main course to drinks to dessert; Inside-Out Buffalo Chicken with Crystal Hot Sauce injected directly into the muscle, the Watermelon Fix bourbon cocktail made with pickled watermelon rind juice, and the Inside-Out Almond Joy Cake with marshmallow creme frosting, coconut, and chocolate-covered almonds. We also put together a list of handpicked gifts Dad will actually use, all available on Amazon. Prime Day is July 23rd. Get everything at the-good-plate.com/newsletters/fathers-day-2026/

Rosemarie Turkey Burger

Image
  Most turkey burgers disappoint. They are too lean to carry much flavor on their own, and without a deliberate strategy to compensate, the result is pale, dry, and forgettable. The Rosemarie Turkey Burger is built differently: a full Mediterranean spice blend, wheat germ for structure and nutrition, yogurt toum instead of mayonnaise, and fresh cucumber with mint for the finish. Cucumber and mint are a classic eastern Mediterranean pairing — present in tzatziki, fattoush, and cacık — for the same reason they work here: mint amplifies cucumber's freshness and cucumber softens mint's intensity. Crumbled feta ties the build together. A cast iron skillet handles the sear, and a thermometer confirms 165°F (73.8°C) — because poultry means no guessing.
