Lemon Drizzle Bars

May 21, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I am sharing this as a simple summer treat recipe because you can make it in any kitchen. I first developed this recipe in a tiny rental kitchen in London with the bare minimum of kitchen kit as something to pack up for a picnic in the park with a Shakespeare performance of The Tempest. And they are the perfect thing to make if you are in a small, minimally equipped kitchen, a … [Read more...] about Lemon Drizzle Bars

Peanut Butter Pound Cake with Strawberry Jelly Glaze

March 26, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I can’t think of a more home comfort dessert than pound cake with the classic flavors of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It’s one of my very favorite flavor combinations. I love it in a chess pie or a sheet cake. I eat a peanut butter sandwich for lunch most days.

Garlic Custard and Confit Tomato Charcuterie Board

March 19, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Charcuterie boards are all the thing. And I am completely for it. I love cured meats and various delicious accompaniments. And it is such a simple and easy way to entertain.

I make jams and relishes that are … [Read more...] about Garlic Custard and Confit Tomato Charcuterie Board

Ultimate Pecan Brownies

March 5, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I kind of think of these as the ultimate nut brownies. Nutty browned butter, pecan meal, chopped pecans – and a little dose of bourbon to give them some Southern flair. I am a big fan of nut flours (or meals) that are now so readily available. They add such dimension to simple recipes. Almond flour is a solid standby, but I love experimenting with hazelnut meal (in a fig … [Read more...] about Ultimate Pecan Brownies

French Quarter Breakfast Puffs

February 19, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I like a little silliness in the Mardi Gras season. Lots of sprinkles and glitter and fun. I have taken a classic recipe for what I have always called French puffs (I hear they are now sometimes called duffins for donut/muffin) and added a Mardi Gras twist with colored sanding sugar. The muffin is simple, vanilla scented and not too sweet, but a dip in cinnamon sugar gives a … [Read more...] about French Quarter Breakfast Puffs

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.
