CHEF’S GOURMET DINNER BOXES

We recently had the pleasure of sampling one of the new Gourmet Dinner Boxes from Yarmouth Deli – and what a culinary experience! These luxury boxes are packed with specially selected fine produce, making them a must-try for that ‘stay at home’ date night or to impress at your next dinner party.

To start, we tried the Aberdeen Angus Bavette Steak paired with charred corn salsa and homemade smoked garlic and paprika butter – accompanied with a top recommendation from the Chef to “cook the steak from room temperature.” Our second starter was the Isle of Wight tomato and basil bruschetta with a balsamic drizzle. For main courses we enjoyed the delicious Cornish moules mariniere with crusty bread, and a homemade cauliflower and chickpea curry with rice. The side dishes we opted for were the ‘green salad’ – peas, sliced cucumber, pickled red onion, fennel, pea shoots, parmesan, and olive oil. Not forgetting the wonderful vegetables locally sourced from Farmhouse Fayre, consisting of savoy cabbage, peas, courgette, tenderstem broccoli, fine beans, mint, and butter.

Our dinner box desserts were a perfect ending to the evening. The homemade plum crumble served with Calbourne Classics vanilla ice-cream was divine, and the chocolate brownie – again served with vanilla ice cream – was any chocolate lover’s idea of heaven. All dishes within the box come with easy-to-follow instructions. To enjoy one of these restaurant-quality dinner boxes for yourself, ordering couldn’t be simpler – either telephone or visit in person before 2pm for same-day collection or delivery (for the west Wight post code areas). Full details including delivery/ collection times are available in-store.
