Roasted Summer Succotash

August 19, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Recipe ideas come to me everywhere, this one came to me after I saw roasted lima beans on a menu, I think something I saw online, because it’s not something I ate. The description made me wonder exactly what the result would be – raosting bean? Then I remembered a Greek-style roasted dish using gigante beans and tomatoes, and my mind immediately went to butter beans, which lead … [Read more...] about Roasted Summer Succotash

Curried Corn Soup with Toasted Corn Kernels

August 13, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Fresh corn and curry are a favorite combination of mine, and for years I have made a quick blender soup using frozen corn and boxed stock. It’s such a treat for me, that I figured I ought to work out a proper recipe using a full complement of the beautiful summer corn I find at the farmers market. And I love this version even more.

Caramelized Corn Pudding

Lady Pea, Corn and Tomato Salad with Basil Vinaigrette

August 21, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I adore lady peas. They are as lovely as their sweet name suggests. These tiny little gems are creamy and pack a flavor punch for their diminutive size. And during the summer, when the lady peas are abundant, I use them in whatever way I can, braised in butter or in a beautiful Sunshine Succotash. This fresh salad is perfect for a late summer supper, featuring the stars of a … [Read more...] about Lady Pea, Corn and Tomato Salad with Basil Vinaigrette

Country Ham Butter for Corn on the Cob

August 14, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Beautifully fresh, sweet and juicy corn on the cob is one of the great glories of a Southern summertime. There something sentimental about it – a throwback to summer camp and family cookouts, spreading butter over the hot cobs and sprinkling them with salt, juicy kernels bursting at every bite and the butter dripping down your fingers, even when you use the little plastic … [Read more...] about Country Ham Butter for Corn on the Cob

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.
