. ~~~ Not A Cloud In The Sky ~~~ . .....but we'll have a 'cloud' on your plate... When you travel to other big cities in the world, it is then that you really appreciate the clear, bright skies we have in Perth during this time of the year. It is so mesmerising and breathtaking to look up and see a sky of blue. We really need to not take it for granted! With the warmer weather, it's always nice to finish a meal with lighter flavours.

. 🛑👀🏖 OUR LAST MEAL BOX BEFORE WE TAKE A BREAK 🛑👀🏖 . ~~~ Don't Be A Chicken, Dive Into Flavour ~~~ . The city of Lyon has always been known as the gastronomic capital of France. Thanks to its location, restaurants and chefs have access to the freshest ingredients, making it easier for them to hold on to this strong culinary title. Among the specialities there, one of the most popular is le poulet au vinaigre, a classical bistro dish of delicious chicken stew. I will cook this for you in this box, accompanied, of course, by the iconic pommes Lyonnaise! 🐟 Entrée 🐟 Tasmanian salmon terrine wrapped in nori seaweed // daikon // Granny Smith apple // celeriac // Thai cucumber relish 🐔 Main 🐔 free range chicken fricassée // wilted spinach // toasted mustard seeds // red wine vinegar & mustard sauce // pommes Lyonnaise 🥖 mini baguette 🍒 Dessert 🍒 cherry & pistachio entremet // dark chocolate crémeux // cocoa wafer // cherry coulis .

. ~~~~~ Honey, I'm Home ~~~~~ . When we talk about ingredients in cooking that have a long history, honey is one that tops my list. The Egyptians were one of the first to produce honey, using them many ways not only in cooking but as well as in their medicines. Here in Australia, we are very lucky to have a great range of fantastic honey. For this meal box's dessert, I will use a local one (specifically 6006 from @postcode_honey). It has beautiful floral notes, which matches perfectly with the lavender infused crème anglaise. . 📍📍📍CHOICE OF 3 DELIVERY DAYS FOR THE LONG WEEKEND📍📍📍 . 🍄‍🟫 Entrée 🍄‍🟫 porcini mushroom custard // marinated oyster mushroom in olive oil, lemon juice & coriander seeds // balsamic reduction 🐑 Main 🐑 lamb shoulder & eggplant charlotte // spiced tomato coulis // chickpea // harissa // confit red cabbage 🥖 Mini baguette 🍯 Dessert 🍯 honey & yoghurt bavarois // rhubarb compote // lavender crème anglaise // polenta crisp Each box costs only $50 per person (minimum order for 2 people) Includes free delivery within 15km of Perth CBD (delivery outside this zone available for an additional fee). 📷: Pictured are our suggested plated portion for 1 person 🚗 : SATURDAY 21st, SUNDAY 22nd or MONDAY 23rd September. ⏰️: Please DM for orders by 6pm THURSDAY 19th September. ♨️: Meals are prepared & cooked and delivered chilled.

Thank you for snapping these up! We have now sold out! 🙏🏻

. ~~~ The Art Of Curing ~~~ . Curing was a method initially used for the purpose of preservation and to lengthen the shelf life of the protein. Now, it not only does that, it is also a way to add extra flavour to it. A standard cure mix is a combination of salt and sugar, but I enjoy adding other seasoning, citrus or herbs to it depending on the protein used. For FATHER'S DAY weekend, in our entrée of cured beef, I'll be adding a mix of different peppercorns to give it a good kick. . 🐂 Entrée 🐂 cured grass fed beef fillet // celeriac // confit cumquat // radish // cashew 🐔 Main 🐔 Mt Barker chicken maryland filled with chicken mousse // shimeji mushroom // pumpkin purée // pickled red onion // jalepeño, honey, lime, chilli braising jus 🥖 mini baguette 🍫 Dessert 🍫 (with or without FATHER'S DAY topper) raspberry & dark chocolate brownie petit gateau // red fruit coulis // milk chocolate & hazelnut "pocky" sticks . Each box costs only $50 per person (minimum order for 2 people) Includes free delivery, within 15km of Perth CBD (delivery outside this zone available for an additional fee). 📷: Pictured are our suggested plated portion for 1 person 🚗 : SATURDAY 31st August or SUNDAY 1st September. ⏰️: Please DM for orders by 6pm THURSDAY 29th August. ♨️: Meals are prepared & cooked and delivered chilled.

. ~~~ Under The Crust ~~~ . What is the difference between a pie and a pithivier? It is the type of pastry used as well as the texture of the filling itself. Whilst a pie is usually made with shortcrust, the pithivier is made with puff pastry. The filling of a pie is generally either shredded or minced whereas in a pithivier, it usually contains chunky meat or vegetables. What they do have in common is that they are both a delicious, hearty dish, perfect for winter! This weekend, our pithivier has flavours of Provence to help transport you to warmth of the south of France 🌞 . 🦐 Entrée 🦐 baked polenta with prawn & salmon mousse // pickled daikon // saffron escabeche // salmon roe 🥧 Main 🥧 slow cooked lamb pithivier // parmesan & courgette gratin // green olive & lemon confit condiment // toasted buckwheat // braising jus 🥖 mini baguette 🍊 Dessert 🍊 mandarin & pistachio entremet // dried fruit compote // black sesame crisp // crème anglaise .
