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.

fri02dec2011: tagine of chicken

with such a great response from the lamb tagine a few weeks ago, for the last of the auckland sessions for some time i've gone for a popular choice: tagine, with chicken.

spicy&fruity&meaty&flavoursome the meat will marinate overnight & will slowly come together for friday afternoon, being served with either couscous or bulghur wheat, the standard green salad on the side.

what i love about tagines, infact so much middle eastern cuisine shares this, is the feeling of sensuous indulgence when eating it. maybe its the sweet savoury combinations that delight with their relentless saturating deliciousness, it's always so good it's almost as if it should be bad for you!!
then you realise, as you munch, that what you're eating is healthy & nutritious too.

as a takeout dinner, this fridaynightdinnerbox is the perfect solution.

AND>>>
this, as mentioned, will be the last of the auckland fridaynightdinnerboxes until i return from hawkes bay...which will be who-knows-when?!  this blog will continue, the recipes & everything else...but pakowhai rd just out of hastings will be the next local til then.

your part is easy, drop me a line via email or txt, let me know how many you'd like by late thurs;
delivery thru mid/late fri afternoon to homes/offices/sites in my ever increasing drop-off zone;
meals are $20 each & suit being warmed in the microwave - so no dishes afterwards;

txt: 021 2414 020
email: pabloskitchen@yahoo.com (subject bar: fridaynightdinnerbox)

talk to you soon/see you friday
