Reza Mahammad

15th November: Take-away Dining with Reza

Reza returns with a selection of dishes - this time provided as a take-away. All profits are destined for the association, obviously. Please don't delay - numbers are limited and over 20 reservations had been placed within 12 hours of the menu being issued!

Here's the schedule

• Tue 29th October: the menu of dishes on offer will be emailed to subscribers - it is already out
• Thu 7th November: all orders and pre-payments should be made before this date
• Come and collect your frozen take-away at the kitchen in Valence: 18:00-20:00 Fri 15th, 10:00-12:00 Sat 16th, 17:00-19:00 Sun 17th

Reza and Sharon have worked hard to design a mouth-watering menu and source the best, fresh ingredients. Each dish will be prepared and cooked by Reza himself, allowed to cool and then rapidly frozen. Your portions will be served in reusable containers (with a 1€ deposit on each) for collection whenever suits you (see times above - please indicate your collection day when sending payment so your order will be ready and waiting!).

Here is the menu (dishes do not include rice or breads) :

1. Beef Koftas: lovely rich mix of spices 12€95
2. Fish in Tomato & Coconut: subtly blended 11€65
3. Cardamom Chicken: creamy & silky smooth 10€95
4. Allo Baingun: 13 selected spices 10€10
5. Tarka Dal: comfort food with a zing 9€70

Reza recommends allowing the food to defrost slowly to room temperature and then reheat in either a microwave or oven. They have also sourced some quality wines to go with their dishes - please ask when you place your order.

So when placing your order by phone or email, make sure you:

• quote either the menu number or the dish name & the quantity you want
• indicate when you expect to collect your princely feast
• ask about their wine options

I guess there will be quite a few fabulous dinner parties throughout Charente this weekend, everyone toasting Reza - the Spice Prince of India!

For reservations: please contact Sharon (see below) and confirm with payment by Thursday 7th Nov.
