Savory Cheddar Flapjacks

September 29, 2024 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I have this recipe written in one of my many recipe notebooks I have created over the years. It came from a British cookbook, but I can’t remember which one, though I vaguely think it might be from a little novelty book of wartime recipes. Wherever it come from, it is a good, sturdy recipe to have handy. A classic British flapjack is a sweet, syrupy oat snack, but these are … [Read more...] about Savory Cheddar Flapjacks

Beer Hall Cheese Ball (Obatzda)

October 9, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I am not an expert at all in German food or Oktoberfest, but I do love beer and cheese and pretzels.  Obatzda is a traditional creamy cheese and onion spread that, I have read, is often served at beer halls, like it’s Austrian cousin Liptauer.

Bright sunshiny lemon brings a little brightness and freshness, but this baked risotto is pure … [Read more...] about Paprika Shrimp with Baked Lemon Risotto

Many years ago, as a kid, I saw a recipe and photo for Liptauer in a cookbook or magazine, and I remember that it looked impossibly elegant and sounded so exotic and sophisticated to me. I didn’t understand all the ingredients –capers and caraway sounded foreign and out of reach. The picture showed a fancy mold surrounded by intricate garnishes – carved radishes and celery … [Read more...] about Liptauer

Green Chile Cheese Puffs

February 23, 2011 by The Runaway Spoon 2 Comments

I love these little puffs.  They are tender and cheesy with a nice bite from the green chiles and couldn’t be easier to make.  They are a great nibble to start a family taco night but are also elegant enough for the swankiest party.  Green Chile Cheese Puffs I love the extra little hit of smoked paprika on top, but use sweet paprika if that’s what you have. ½ pound … [Read more...] about Green Chile Cheese Puffs

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.
