Sauerbraten (Marinated Beef Roast with a Gingersnap Gravy)

October 2, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

The first signs of fall are just beginning to show, so my mind turns to hearty, meaty meals with bold flavors, and this recipe fits the bill perfectly.

It’s a warming and comforting Sunday night supper, or marinate during the week for a wonderful weekend feast. … [Read more...] about Sauerbraten (Marinated Beef Roast with a Gingersnap Gravy)

Debris Po’ Boys

January 31, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

Mardi Gras is almost upon us, so it’s time to talk Po' Boys. Traditionally, the story goes, the Debris po' boy (pronounced DAY-bree in this case) was made from the leftover bits and pieces left behind from carving a roast, soaked in the gravy and meat juices.

My introduction to this French country dish was, oddly, in London.  And the first time I had it, I had never heard of it.  Since my graduate school days, I have made an annual pilgrimage to London, extending the trip each year, to spend enough time to settle in and not feel rushed or overwhelmed.  Sure, I go to museums and historical sights and see friends, but my main focus, … [Read more...] about Hachis Parmentier (French Cottage Pie)

Bobotie (South African Curried Beef and Lamb Casserole)

September 11, 2011 by The Runaway Spoon 3 Comments

In my family, when we travel, we all have assignments. Subjects to learn about, information to share with the group.  Yes, homework for vacation.  Laugh all you want, but it has made for some really interesting trips.  I am generally given the topic of food.  I search out restaurants, food customs, typical local fare and markets.  And the training of my … [Read more...] about Bobotie (South African Curried Beef and Lamb Casserole)

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.
