Pumpkin Polenta with Italian Sausage and Pumpkin Ragu

October 13, 2024 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

At this time of year, pumpkin everything is everywhere. It’s a little overdone in my opinion. When it comes to food, so much falls into the pumpkin spice category, which really isn’t about pumpkin at all – just those spices we associate with pumpkin pie. But pumpkin is actually a lovely thing to cook with and I really love it in savory applications, which I think get lost in … [Read more...] about Pumpkin Polenta with Italian Sausage and Pumpkin Ragu

Shrimp seem like such a summer special to me. Though I don’t summer at the beach or really live anywhere near a super fresh shrimp source. Maybe a great shrimp dish makes me feel like I am on a beach vacation? Shrimp and feta cheese are a great combination (as a pasta dish it is a favorite). On a trip to Greece years ago, I think I ate some combination of the two at … [Read more...] about Roasted Shrimp on Whipped Feta with Chermoula Sauce

Chicken Shawarma Platter

As I have said many times before, I love a good salad platter for feeding a crowd (check out my other versions here). A beautiful spread with lots to offer so everyone can tailor their meal to their own tastes. This chicken shawarma version is particularly versatile and absolutely packed with flavor. It’s filling and hearty yet still light and refreshing for summer, with … [Read more...] about Chicken Shawarma Platter

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.
