Greek Style Green Bean Salad

June 18, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Every year, I look forward with great anticipation to the Memphis Greek Festival. I go as soon as it opens and stock up on frozen spanikopita, delight at the flaming cheese saganaki and pig out on the cookies and pastries made by the ladies of the church. And it always gets me thinking about Greek recipes. I’ve only been to Greece once, many years ago, with friends on a budget … [Read more...] about Greek Style Green Bean Salad

Greek Inspired Shrimp and Feta Spaghetti

The Greek flavors of a shrimp, tomato and feta are a favorite of mine, and always remind me of summer, and a trip to Greece and the island of Mykonos one summer many years ago.

Greek Herbed Spinach Pie

This is hardly a recipe, more like a set of instructions, but I wanted to share it before this long weekend of picnics and cookouts and gatherings, because it is so good and so simple and so perfect for this last official weekend of summer.  I first had this in South Africa several years ago, as part of a big beautiful lunch spread at a safari camp.  I was impressed by its … [Read more...] about Simple Watermelon Feta Salad

Greek Feta Parcels

April 11, 2010 by The Runaway Spoon 11 Comments

Okay, I’ll admit.  I have fear of phyllo.  I love Greek food and pastries, but I am too afraid, or okay, too lazy to work with phyllo myself.  Clearing all that counterspace, brushing every layer with butter, covering with damp towels.  My few forays have been madly unsuccessful.  And messy. Every year in Memphis there is a wonderful Greek food festival.  People line up for … [Read more...] about Greek Feta Parcels

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.
