Wintry Chopped Salad

January 5, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Winter is here, the holidays have passed and life is returning to normal. Hopefully. And we are all maybe thinking a bit more about healthier eating (though I haven’t quite finished all the Christmas chocolate). In summer, the bounty for big, fresh salads is so immense, but in the colder months, it can be a little but hard to find inspiration. But this big bowl of delicious … [Read more...] about Wintry Chopped Salad

Baked Whipped Goat Cheese with Pancetta and Figs

March 3, 2024 by TheRunawaySpoon 2 Comments

I am constantly on the hunt for good recipes for appetizers and snacks (even though I wrote a book on the subject).

And I am all for it. I love cheese, and really there is no easier way to impress guests than by serving a beautifully … [Read more...] about Cheese Board Chowder

Fig and Blue Cheese Galette

August 15, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I am a fig fanatic. After the jams and preserves I stock up on every year, I turn to other fig delights, like this packed-with-flavor fig galette. The galette is the perfect vehicle for summer produce, it is simple to put together for a lot of payoff. And to be honest, I love the rustic, hand-formed appearance of pastry just cradling fresh summer farmers market finds. It has … [Read more...] about Fig and Blue Cheese Galette

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.
