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.

21oct2011: saffron prawn jambalaya

the evolution of a risotto dish i've loved cooking for years, combining the spice of saffron, the heat khulen sausage, the sweetness of roast capsicum & garlic prawns, brought together by brown rice, served with a green salad.

of note is the sausage, made by salash it is just sensational. serbian khulen made to traditional methods, an art form all but disappearing, i was thrilled to discover their stall at the la cigale markets one sunday morning. these days it is an essential stop on my wanderings round that market, sampling as i go. the salash sausage adds a vibrant meaty zing to an already fabulous combination of ingredients.

sound good? jambalaya is a rice dish, full of flavour, full of substance, perfect from out of the fridaynightdinnerbox style noodle box. txt me or email, let me know how many you'd like. i'll see you friday.
