the concept

the concept

The idea came from some friends, Lucy Jason & George, who were back home briefly & raved about a chef in London's East End...http://fridaynightakeout.blogspot.com/
I thought it was such a good idea, the best thing to do would be to bring it to life here where I live in New Zealand.
So...I'm also a freelance chef, each week I cook a different dish, depending on what's in season, what's good now, or just how I feel. Lately I've been cooking a lot of my mother's dishes

Dish descriptions will be posted here online early in the week, recipes later over the weekend, with links to:

As I play with the idea through the week, the dish maybe evolves a little, but that's half the fun. Meals will be priced at $20, incl delivery & orders can be made anytime up to roughly lunchtime Thursday, which is when I go shopping. Simply get in touch, email or txt, you can order as many as you like!
Afternoon Friday I'll deliver dinnerboxes warm/cooling/cold, locally in & around my base, which admittedly does change a bit - currently I'm north of Auckland, living by the beach in Mangawhai (just let me know where you are when you get in touch).

I've recently included an email subscription option at the bottom of this page &, while I have no idea how it works, the hope is that it automatically sends to subscribers email notifications each week about the dish...so, sign up!

disclaimer:
From time to time, when the wanderlust takes over, I hit the road & disappear in search of dishes, tastes & ingredients elsewhere. Then this blog takes on a different kind of persona; a travelling recipe book of notes, pics & stories, ideas to inspire & for me to return to, once I get back home.

fri23sep2011: fresh pasta, seafood in a tomato sauce

in tight spots i've used a wine bottle for a roller, free hand cutting the pasta on a floured bench into strips of  ruffenuffetti; when my trustee pasta machine is at hand however, it cuts to a uniform spaghetti or tagliatelle width. this week's fridaynightdinnerbox is my tagliatelle, with seafood & a tomato sauce.

at this early stage of the week i have spanish flavours in my mind,
& this is probably the way this dish will evolve thru the week; perhaps saffron thru the pasta itself, the compliment of caperberries & lemon thru the sauce.

note to self: checklist for friday:
               1. order cooking wine, a good red or two should do it;
               2. don't forget the gypsy kings cds.

i'll be heading down to the fish markets early friday morning to choose what looks good on the day, so this week orders can be made as late as thursday night before you go to bed...or reeeeally early friday morning. send me an email or send me a txt msg with your order, i look forward to hearing from you & i'll see you on friday.
