Baked Camembert with Hazelnut and Cranberry Crumble

December 16, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

One English grocery store even (to this day) … [Read more...] about Baked Camembert with Hazelnut and Cranberry Crumble

Queso Fundido Soup

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.
