Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Apples and Root Vegetables and Hazelnut Sauce

January 17, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Winter is the perfect time for a hearty, comforting meal and the slow cooker makes it easy work. A rainbow of lovely winter vegetables nestled around a tender pork roast makes for a pretty impressive dish. This is the kind of thing I love to do on a bleak, rainy or snowy day, the fragrant meal cooking away while I snuggle under a blanket with a good book. But a meal like this … [Read more...] about Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Apples and Root Vegetables and Hazelnut Sauce

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.

August 23, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Burrata is it’s own special cheese, made from mozzarella – it’s a shell of mozzarella filled with fresh curds and cream (which is also called stracciatella). Its something I first heard about in fancy food magazines, the kind that are based in New York and have the world of ingredients available to them in a way many places (like Memphis) don’t always. I ate it first in London, … [Read more...] about Burrata with Smoky Tomato Jam

Orzo Caprese Pasta Salad with Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette

August 16, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Summer’s high heat days are the time for cold salads that are filling and satisfying, but easy to prepare and to eat. I haven’t reinvented any wheels with this recipe, just taken the classic combination of tomatoes, basil and mozzarella to create a refreshing, simple summer meal. Because when the ingredients are at the peak of freshness, simple is best. I return to this flavor … [Read more...] about Orzo Caprese Pasta Salad with Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette

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.
