Savory Butternut and Sage Cheesecake

October 10, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Savory cheesecake is a thing. A few years ago, in support of my cookbook Southern Snacks, I appeared on Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family show to make my country ham cheesecake, and everyone was rather surprised (and dubious) of the concept. I won them over however. I love a savory cheesecake – it’s a fabulous party piece. It serves a crowd, can be made ahead, and with … [Read more...] about Savory Butternut and Sage Cheesecake

Pear, Leek and Walnut Tart

I want to extol the virtues of the savory tart. From classic quiche to stunning flamiche, Chicken, Cheddar and Pecan or a seasonal Italian Summer Cherry Tomato.

I will pimento cheese-ify anything. I literally wrote the book on pimento cheese (seriously, Pimento Cheese The Cookbook). Even after developing all those recipes, I never stop creating delicious dishes inspired by the classic flavors of pimento cheese. And for weekend grill-outs or picnics, I turned potato salad into a symphony of pimento cheese. I mean, who doesn’t love … [Read more...] about Pimento Cheese Potato Salad

Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf

August 22, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Summer farmers market season is in full swing, with an embarrassment of delicious riches. And I go on shopping sprees amongst the produce. I buy lots of things for canning jams and pickles, some things I eat as plain and fresh as possible and some things I turn into delicious recipes to share here. And sometimes, I have a few fruits or vegetables hanging around I want to make … [Read more...] about Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf

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.
