Irish

Guinness Brownies

March 16, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

As Irish eyes start smilin’ at this time of year, I always seem to break out the Guinness for recipes in my kitchen. I’ll be perfectly honest, I don’t really like drinking Guinness straight up, but in cooking it adds a whole new depth and dimension to so many things. Sausage Coddle, Oatmeal Quick Bread, Bangers and Mash, Caramel Sauce. And that holds … [Read more...] about Guinness Brownies

Guinness and Oatmeal Quick Bread

March 10, 2024 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

AS St. Patrick's Day approaches, I am reposting an old favorite from 9 year ago. I developed this recipe for a holiday post, but I ended up cycling it into my repetoire pretty often. It's great with a bowl of Irish Stew or Dublin Coddle. So, from 2015: I had a six pack of Guinness on hand.  I love cooking with stout, but I don’t particularly like drinking it … [Read more...] about Guinness and Oatmeal Quick Bread

It’s a nice combination of traditional St. Patrick’s Day fare and Irish products, all with a little touch of green. Deli corned beef is … [Read more...] about St. Patrick’s Day Grazing Board

I absolutely discovered this dish because of the name. I first saw it on a pub menu in London and had to ask. After it was described, my dining companion switched his order to it and we both relished bites. But I had to know where the name came from, so I soon set out to do some research. This was many years ago and the internet was not quite so helpful, but eventually I … [Read more...] about Dublin Lawyer (Shrimp in Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce)

Guinness Caramel Sauce or Caramel Chews

March 11, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

This starts as a tale of failure. I set out to make a rich, Guinness-laced caramel sauce to drizzle over ice cream. In my first attempt, I dropped the ball, got distracted and cooked the caramel little longer than needed. But as the caramel was setting up, I thought perhaps I could save the day by pouring the thick caramel into a pan to see what happened. What happened was … [Read more...] about Guinness Caramel Sauce or Caramel Chews

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.
