Gypsy Tart

May 10, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon 2 Comments

I thought, when all these safer-at-home orders started, that I would be an absolute cooking machine. Testing three and four recipes a day, absolutely alight with creativity. And I’d make myself fantastic meals twice a day. I planned to become an expert on cooking from the pantry and the freezer. But it hasn’t happened. I still cook – it’s my job – but that burst of energy and … [Read more...] about Gypsy Tart

Dundee Cake

We are all spending more time at home these days, and I think it would be a very civilized idea to bring back afternoon tea.

I call this my emergency cake for those occasions when I need to take something to a friend, a last minute dinner invite or a school function. This recipe is one for which I can … [Read more...] about Chocolate Cherry Emergency Cake

Roasted Strawberry and Cream Cake with Ruby Chocolate Glaze

February 9, 2020 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I love strawberries, but I generally only eat them when they are in season from local growers. I think this adds to the sense of anticipation and excitement I feel about them. The brief period in April and May when they are at their peak, I gorge myself, making jams and preserves and baked goods – and of course eating them out of hand. The rest of the year is mostly strawberry … [Read more...] about Roasted Strawberry and Cream Cake with Ruby Chocolate Glaze

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.
