Cane Syrup Pie

October 14, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

In the pantheon of Southern sweeteners, cane syrup ranks high for me. There is this earthy caramel note I adore. Cane syrup is made from a sugar cane breed, ribbon cane, that grows in the South. There are now farmers creating fantastic cane syrups using traditional methods that are well worth seeking out, and the more widely available Steen’s cane syrup is deep and … [Read more...] about Cane Syrup Pie

Coca-Cola Bundt Cake with Salted Caramel Icing

September 23, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I love a Coca Cola Cake. The simple use of a bottle of Coke adds depth and complexity to a moist, deep cake for very little effort. I make many a Coca-Cola sheet cake (there’s a Jack and Coke version in The Southern Sympathy Cookbook), but this I developed for a friend’s birthday. This friend, who is not from around these parts, had once commented that she couldn’t understand … [Read more...] about Coca-Cola Bundt Cake with Salted Caramel Icing

Barbecue Pimento Cheese

Lady Pea Buttermilk Vichyssoise with Crispy Country Ham

June 24, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

  When I was a kid, my mom would sometimes in summer serve cold soups for supper. Mostly vichysoisse from a can and something called consommé madrilène. I didn’t not like this. The idea of cold soup just didn’t square in my adolescent brain. But like most things, my mother was right. Cold soup is such a perfectly refreshing summer meal. And it is a great opportunity to … [Read more...] about Lady Pea Buttermilk Vichyssoise with Crispy Country Ham

Southern Buttermilk Cobb Salad

June 3, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

Summer entertaining should be easy. It is just too hot to spend hours over a steaming stove. But that doesn’t mean a meal can’t be spectacular. And I am telling you, no one will feel cheated with a salad for dinner when it is this full of delicious, hearty components. I love laying this out on a big rectangular platter – it absolutely produces oohs and ahhs. But a big pretty … [Read more...] about Southern Buttermilk Cobb Salad

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.
