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.

fri21dec2012: smoked salmon ravioli

So many things going on at the mo - schools out & the hols have begun, Christmas just round the corner & the shopping frenzy in full swing, & then there's this end of the world business, scheduled for Friday this week by all accounts - sometimes it's hard to keep on top of it all! How happy am I then that my chief concern is this coming up with something tasty for dinner on Friday night. I'm reminded of Carême's quote, painted on the scullery wall at Petit Lyon;
"From behind my ovens I see the ugly edifice of time slowly pass"

For this week's fridaynightdinnerbox dish, I'm pulling out my trusty benchtop Titania pasta machine. It's seen many kitchen campaigns & seems somehow fitting for the occasion. Stocked up with smoked salmon, a range of my favourite soft cheeses, herbs from the garden, my magic box of pickles & spices, I'm experimenting with mixtures to fill ravioli parcels. The ravioli will be accompanied by some steamed seasonal vegetables, dressed with lemon, seasoned with a touch of Dead Sea salt, a garden salad along side also...

Your part is simple: get in touch by thursday afternoon, cos that's when I go shopping, & tell me how many dinnerboxes you'd like.
Drop-offs from 4pm onwards, to the office/site/home just let me know what suits.

To order, contact me by txt or email:
txt: 021 676 123
email: pabloskitchen@yahoo.com (subject heading: “fridaynightdinnerbox”)
& I’ll confirm your order when received.
talk to you soon…
cheers - Pablo
