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).

email: pabloskitchen@yahoo.com

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.

kitchen talk: arrivederci Aotearoa! ciao Italia!

My phone beeped two weeks ago, Ana's txt read:
need a hand in june & poss a little july. you'll need to sort out a rtn flight 2 pisa italy. interested?


So...fridaynightdinnerboxes will be taking a short break for a while, I'll be out of town... 


For the month of June then, hanging out with Ana aboard a yacht, based in Italy, where she has been working as a chef. An exciting adventure, to say the least, & something new. 


Postings here will continue, a catalogue new dishes & recipes to use once I return home to Auckland, both from Tuscany & elsewhere in southern Europe, but also for fridaynightdinnerboxers to cook & enjoy at home. So, while the dinnerboxes won't be arriving at your door for the time being, I look forward to hearing your comments about these dishes, your photos too. 


The global kitchen idea, of like minded food lovers cooking & eating the same dishes around the world, is a fundamental part of this project. What more to say then? Buon appetito!
