This month's newsletter is live, and it leans all the way into appetizers and starters for end of summer entertaining. Lemon Fluff Tiramisu takes the star spot, a no-bake riff on tiramisu built around lemon instead of espresso. Fruit boats and risotto rice balls play backup, both easy to make ahead. Homemade mascarpone finally gets its own turn as the dessert entry, and a quick chimichurri gives grill owners something to fight over. There is also a stovetop smoking course for apartment dwellers without a grill, a review of a parody book for Star Trek's 60th anniversary, and a Labor Day hosting kit rounding things out.

  This Cherry Tomato Phyllo Tart with Pesto and Feta pairs flaky, Greek-style phyllo with a homemade Italian pesto and briny feta for a true Mediterranean-inspired dish. The phyllo folds up its own rustic crust, no pastry skills required, and the whole thing finishes in the air fryer.

New on The Good Plate: Chicken Birria Tacos Made Easy for the Slow Cooker. I'm walking through how dried New Mexico, negro, and chipotle chiles become a smoky sauce, why I reduce that sauce on the stovetop before it meets the chicken, and how a frozen chicken start makes this an easy dump-and-go dinner. There's also a bit of history in there; the word "birria" has a genuinely disputed origin, and I get into it. Full recipe here: https://the-good-plate.com/chicken-birria-tacos/

  Today we are doing something a little different at The Good Plate's Kitchen. In honor of Star Trek's 60th anniversary, I am reading a bit from Fun with Kirk and Spock, a parody reading primer by Robb Pearlman that reskins the original crew as a "see Spot run" style picture book. It is not an official Star Trek book, and honestly, not really a children's book either, even though it is built like one. Full written review at the link below.

  This week's recipe borrows from three places at once. The chimichurri sauce is genuinely Argentine, made the traditional way and used both as a marinade and a fresh tableside condiment. The cooking method relies on a sous vide immersion cooker, nothing to do with a traditional asado, but it delivers perfectly even doneness before a hard sear builds the crust. And the plate itself leans Tex-Mex if you want it to, tortillas and salsa on the side, with the option to build full tacos from the leftovers. Full recipe, ingredient list, and step by step photos are on The Good Plate. https://the-good-plate.com/chimichurri-steak-sous-vide/ #Chimichurri #SousVide #ArgentineCooking #FusionRecipe

  A dessert does not have to come from a restaurant kitchen to taste like it did. My Lemon Fluff Tiramisu swaps the espresso and cocoa of a classic tiramisu for lemon, candied lemon peel, and a floral citrus flavoring oil called Fiori di Sicilia. Ladyfingers get dipped in a lemon simple syrup, layered with a whipped lemon cream cheese filling, and topped with fresh lemon zest and more candied peel. No oven needed, and a full batch costs about two to three dollars a serving to make at home.

  Baked Salmon Sushi Stack This dish takes everything I love about a Philadelphia roll, salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber, and turns it into a loose, layered stack instead of a roll. The salmon bakes in a foil packet with ginger, garlic, and scallion so it stays tender, while the sushi rice cooks hands off in the Instant Pot.

  What happens when you bring the flavors of a great curry to a chicken burger? You get something genuinely surprising and completely delicious. This Curry Chicken Burger starts with ground chicken seasoned with Penzeys Now Curry, dried jalapeño, freeze-dried cilantro, and raisins. It is topped with a homemade apricot Major Grey's Chutney; an allergy-friendly swap for the traditional mango version. Serve it on naan with curry bulgur and a cool yogurt cucumber salad.

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

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 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.

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/

  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.

  What if Buffalo flavor lived inside the chicken? That is the premise of Inside-Out Buffalo Chicken — a whole spatchcocked bird injected with Crystal Hot Sauce, rubbed with unsalted butter, cayenne, Penzeys chipotle, and salt, then roasted at 350°F/177°C to an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C. The injection delivers the Buffalo heat directly into the muscle so every bite carries that signature Crystal flavor. Serve with homemade Blue Cheese Dressing for the full experience.
