What’s Cookin’?
Good Stuff!
Welcome to The Good Plate’s kitchen. My name is Adrienne Boswell and I’m here to give you recipes, tips, and methods for making gourmet food on a budget. A new recipe comes out every Friday at noon and the What’s Cookin’? Good Stuff newsletter comes out on the last day of the month.
Coconut Butterscotch Pecan Cookies will remind you of Girl Scout Samoas. They are easy to make and fun to eat.
Teriyaki burgers are a little trip for your mouth to Asia. They’re easy to prepare and you can jazz them up any way you want.
Hamburger steak stuffed with blue cheese and accompanied by frites with a pan reduction sauce is a European favorite on your table.
Mediterranean Burgers are my take on Luleh Kabob, only formed into burgers. They have a distinctly Mediterranean flavor that goes perfectly on the grill.
These gorgonzola burgers are part of my series on Pub burgers. What may look like a lot of fat is Gorgonzola cheese. Gorgonzola cheese is very similar to blue cheese. However, it’s a little lighter in flavor.

Barbeque burgers made with a special sauce and cooked on a cast iron grill taste like they just came off the backyard barbecue.
To become a good cook requires more than the blind following of recipe. It means to gain a knowledge of foods and how they behave and skill in manipulating them. The recipe by itself, helpful as it is, will not produce a good product; the human being using the recipe must interpret it and must have skill in handling the materials it prescribes.
