Fig, Bourbon and Vanilla Bean Upside Down Cake

August 7, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I consume a lot of figs when they are in season. I get to the farmers market early to make sure I get them – and I have been known to buy them all!

So when I set out to make a lovely fig cake, I knew adding … [Read more...] about Fig, Bourbon and Vanilla Bean Upside Down Cake

Baked feta is all over the internet. And with good reason, heat turns one simple piece of salty cheese into a deliciously creamy element in a host of applications.  That baked feta pasta is about the only viral food trend that has appealed to me, and it is a good one.

Flaugnarde is a regional variation of the classic French clafouti, and similar to a more American Dutch baby.

Fresh Fig Mousse

I adore figs, and during their short growing season here, I really try to make the most of them. I make jars and jars of Fig, Bourbon and Vanilla Bean Jam. It is one of my signature preserves now, one people always ask me for. My Fresh Fig Cake with Buttermilk Glaze is a summer favorite as well – it’s a wonderful way to incorporate figs into baking. And of course, I eat the … [Read more...] about Fresh Fig Mousse

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.
