Savory Oat Skirlie

January 23, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I had a little cookbook years ago titled something like A Little Book of Scottish Recipes. I assume it must have been a gift or maybe I picked it up in a gift shop on a trip to Scotland. I don’t know what happened to it, but I don’t seem to own it anymore. It had a recipe for skirlie (though honestly, I’d forgotten the name) and it became a regular dinner for me when I was … [Read more...] about Savory Oat Skirlie

Savory Tomato Frangipane Tart

August 29, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

At the end of summer, when the larger slicing tomatoes are beginning to fade, I still seem to find small varieties of cherry and grape tomatoes hanging around the farmers market. Not, perhaps, at their peak, but still a taste of bright summer sun.

Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf

August 22, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

And sometimes, I have a few fruits or vegetables hanging around I want to make … [Read more...] about Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf

Nectarine Marzipan Cake

August 1, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon 2 Comments

I have read many British recipes over the years that use the term squidgy to describe a cake. It is not perhaps the most literate of terms, but it is perfectly descriptive. I know exactly what it means – soft and moist and rich, dense but in the best possible way. This is a squidgy cake. The almond flour and marzipan add the delicious nutty density while the nectarine slices … [Read more...] about Nectarine Marzipan Cake

Fresh Tomato Basil Bread

July 18, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

When I first started this blog, I was a little afraid of yeast. I hadn’t had much success with bread baking and I was a little too lazy to deal with kneading and shaping. But over the years, as I have learned more and spent more time in the kitchen, I have largely conquered my fear of fresh baked bread. I even branch out to make specialty loaves, like Butternut … [Read more...] about Fresh Tomato Basil Bread

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.
