Good Luck Gumbo (Black-Eyed Pea and Collard Green Gumbo)

December 27, 2020 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

I am reposting this New Year's Day favorite recipe again, because I think we could all use as much luck as we can get this year! I am not an overly suspicious person. Sure, I have my little quirks, but I don’t worry about black cats, walking under ladders, throwing spilled salt over my left shoulder. But there are a few traditions that I adhere to because, well, it can’t hurt. … [Read more...] about Good Luck Gumbo (Black-Eyed Pea and Collard Green Gumbo)

Chocolate Peppermint Molten Cakes

December 20, 2020 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

There was a time when molten lava cake was all the rage. Fancy restaurants served it – it wasn’t really something people made at home. Then recipes were published and it became a standard dinner party dessert.

Lamb Guards of Honor with Hazelnut Mint Crust

December 6, 2020 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

All the recipes I prepared last year and ideas I developed during most of this year aren’t practical. I haven’t completely … [Read more...] about Lamb Guards of Honor with Hazelnut Mint Crust

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. But it just got lodged in my mind, so I bought some brussels sprouts, because I have some sprout lovers in my family, with no real plan. I googled and thought and kept coming back to a hot … [Read more...] about Cacio e Pepe Brussels Sprout Salad

Cornbread Dressing Soufflés

November 15, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I’ve said it already, but Thanksgiving will be different this year. A more intimate and family-focused meal with fewer people gathered around the table.  I see it as an opportunity to try new and exciting things, to shake up tradition, but not abandon them all together. In my opinion, it is not Thanksgiving without dressing, and I usually make a magnificently sized … [Read more...] about Cornbread Dressing Soufflés

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.
