Tartiflette (Creamy Cheese, Potato, Onion and Bacon Gratin)

December 13, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Tartiflette is not a dish for the faint of heart. Potatoes, cheese, bacon, cheese, cream, cheese. You get it. That’s why I think it is perfect for a decadent celebratory meal. I had a grocery store recipe card from England with a tartiflette recipe that I made for years before I ever had it in a restaurant, that being a bistro in Paris that had all the great potato dishes … [Read more...] about Tartiflette (Creamy Cheese, Potato, Onion and Bacon Gratin)

Cacio e Pepe Brussels Sprout Salad

November 22, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

One year at Thanksgiving, I suddenly had the urge to serve some kind of raw green salad. I can’t imagine why – there was more than enough food to serve everyone three times, with leftovers.

In my opinion, it is not Thanksgiving without dressing, and I usually make a magnificently sized … [Read more...] about Cornbread Dressing Soufflés

Fennel and Pancetta Stuffed Turkey Breast

November 8, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Everything is different this year. And the way we celebrate the holidays will not be the same. That doesn’t mean bad, it just means different. It isn’t advisable to gather huge groups of family and friends around the table, so I say use this opportunity to create new traditions or try new recipes. I know there are so many traditions involved in Thanksgiving (Aunt Sue’s sweet … [Read more...] about Fennel and Pancetta Stuffed Turkey Breast

Butternut Squash Spread

October 25, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I love the look of this dish, but the taste is a stunner too. Placing a whole roasted squash on the table for everyone to dig into is always a conversation starter, with the interesting little twist of spreading the velvety squash flesh onto toasted bread. It’s the essence of autumn. And as a bonus it’s healthy. A great appetizer that is not all rich cheese and heavy cream (not … [Read more...] about Butternut Squash Spread

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.
