Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf

August 22, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Summer farmers market season is in full swing, with an embarrassment of delicious riches. And I go on shopping sprees amongst the produce. I buy lots of things for canning jams and pickles, some things I eat as plain and fresh as possible and some things I turn into delicious recipes to share here. And sometimes, I have a few fruits or vegetables hanging around I want to make … [Read more...] about Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf

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.

One English grocery store even (to this day) … [Read more...] about Baked Camembert with Hazelnut and Cranberry Crumble

Taleggio Risotto Cake

I did not grow up eating risotto. It was not a dish on the menus of the many fine Italian-American restaurants in Memphis we ate at during my childhood. When it started to become a common and trendy dish, for many years, I assumed it was some sort of chef-secret dish that couldn’t be created at home (a silly thought now I know). Once I realized that at its heart, risotto is … [Read more...] about Taleggio Risotto Cake

Red Onion, Blue Cheese and Walnut Tart

March 26, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I love a savory tart. I just find them so versatile. They make a perfect lunch with a salad, or a homey dinner with a bowl of soup, or an elegant starter at a dinner party. They are a great thing to take to someone who needs a meal and are great eaten warm out of the oven or at room temperature, so leftovers are useful as well. Of course, the French-style Quiche Lorraine is the … [Read more...] about Red Onion, Blue Cheese and Walnut Tart

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.
