Garlic Custard and Confit Tomato Charcuterie Board

March 19, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Charcuterie boards are all the thing. And I am completely for it. I love cured meats and various delicious accompaniments. And it is such a simple and easy way to entertain. They’ve become a but ubiquitous though, so I am always looking for a little twist, something to make them more unique with a touch of homemade with the store-bought. I make jams and relishes that are … [Read more...] about Garlic Custard and Confit Tomato Charcuterie Board

Ricotta Balls in Tomato Sauce

March 12, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Here we are again in that not-quite-winter, not-quite-spring time. It is cloudy and cold today, but two days ago it was lovely, bright and warm. The green shoots and leaves are starting to appear, but the grass is still brown and it’s not time to put the sweaters away yet.

Ultimate Pecan Brownies

I am a big fan of nut flours (or meals) that are now so readily available. They add such dimension to simple recipes. Almond flour is a solid standby, but I love experimenting with hazelnut meal (in a fig … [Read more...] about Ultimate Pecan Brownies

The first time I made a twice baked soufflés, I served them elegantly on individual gratin dishes with my best china and silver as sophisticated ladies’ luncheon.

But it was so easy to make these soufflés ahead and turn them out onto a rimmed ceramic … [Read more...] about Twice Baked French Onion Soufflés

French Quarter Breakfast Puffs

February 19, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I like a little silliness in the Mardi Gras season. Lots of sprinkles and glitter and fun. I have taken a classic recipe for what I have always called French puffs (I hear they are now sometimes called duffins for donut/muffin) and added a Mardi Gras twist with colored sanding sugar. The muffin is simple, vanilla scented and not too sweet, but a dip in cinnamon sugar gives a … [Read more...] about French Quarter Breakfast Puffs

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
