Caramel Blueberry Dumplings

June 26, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I’ve created here a hybrid of two great Southern desserts – caramel dumplings and blueberry dumplings. I’ve made them both, one a caramel sauce alone with simple dumplings and one with a plain blueberry sauce. This is an over-the-top rich and sweet dessert that is comforting and old fashioned and altogether charming. Fresh in season blueberries burst in a classic caramel and … [Read more...] about Caramel Blueberry Dumplings

Shrimp, Orzo and Feta Salad

June 19, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I love a hearty cold pasta salad in the summer. This version is inspired by the classic Greek flavors of shrimp, feta and tomatoes, which is a favorite combination for me.

Nothing but nothing sings of spring and summer and lovely outdoor weather to me than a Pimm’s Cup, the traditional English cocktail of Pimm’s liqueur topped with sparking lemonade and served with garnishes of fresh fruit and mint. And it is to me, quintessentially British. The taste of my time at Oxford and my many, many visits since. So it is only natural that I distill this … [Read more...] about Pimm’s Bars

Strawberry Elderflower Bakewell Tart

May 29, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

On the  weekend of June 4, Queen Elizabeth will celebrate 70 years on the throne. If you have followed me for any length of time, you will know of my love for things British and that I spend quite a bit of time in London. So I most certainly want to celebrate this historic milestone. Because sticking with one thing for 70 years is a massive achievement anyway you look … [Read more...] about Strawberry Elderflower Bakewell Tart

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.
