Baked Blintz Casserole with Peach Basil Compote

June 15, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Summer weekends. At the lake, at the beach, in the mountains, at home. It’s a great time for a leisurely breakfast or brunch. Actually at a table, not in the car or at your desk.

Add to it a peak season … [Read more...] about Baked Blintz Casserole with Peach Basil Compote

Cranberry Mold with Rosemary and Vanilla

November 10, 2024 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

The cranberry entry to the Thanksgiving can be a controversial choice. You’ve got only from the can and never from the can factions.

February 27, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 3 Comments

Years ago at some restaurant in New Orleans,  I honestly cannot remember where, I had a dessert of Tarte à la Bouillie .

That one was fanicied up with fruit sauce and whipped cream and what not. It was lovely, … [Read more...] about Tarte à la Bouille (Cajun Custard Pie)

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.
