Wine-Soaked Camembert with Honey Brown Butter

October 1, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

In aid of an ongoing research project, I recently acquired a cookbook from 1969 written by Helen Gurley Brown called Single Girls Cookbook. Helen Gurley Brown was the editor in chief at Cosmopolitan Magazine for 32 years and as such had a huge influence on women – how they perceived themselves and how they were perceived. She wrote Sex and the Single … [Read more...] about Wine-Soaked Camembert with Honey Brown Butter

Honey Drops

September 17, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Several years ago, I had several friends who took up beekeeping. Not sure why that suddenly became a big hobby, but I was all for it, as they would bring me jars of honey. Most of them seemed to have moved on from the bees, or at least from leaving jars on my doorstep. And the truth is, I miss it.

Summer Squash and Gruyere Buttermilk Biscuits

I’ve made them with fresh … [Read more...] about Summer Squash and Gruyere Buttermilk Biscuits

July 23, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Summer is all about casual entertaining for me. It’s too hot and too busy to be hosting elaborate dinner parties. I love drop-in, come as you are drinks or cook-outs, or the cold supper. I got pretty good at these during the pandemic for patio “parties”. I tried to bring back the English phrase “cold collation” but alas. It’s a breezy way to entertain - a spread of cold … [Read more...] about Whipped Feta with Za’atar Roasted Tomatoes

Sweet Tea Bars

June 25, 2023 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I am really letting my Southern out here (not that I keep it locked away). Sweet tea is Southern summer. You cannot have one without the other. Pitchers and pitchers of it. Insulated tumblers on the boat, plastic pitchers in the cooler, a big glass pickle jar in the fridge to be poured in fancy glasses or the plastic stadium cups from your favorite barbecue joint. Can’t make it … [Read more...] about Sweet Tea Bars

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.
