traveling ravioli

tshewman

The nice part about traveling is visiting the various farmer's markets. Picked up some swiss chard, fresh parsley, goats cheese that is incredibly creamy and some mushrooms. Stopped off at whole foods and grabbed some pine nuts and flour (already had the eggs). Made some fresh pasta by hand (there's something therapeutic about cooking even when it's a bit ugly) and made the ravioli (cooked garlic chard, pine nut, goat cheese, lemon zest and parmesan). Served it with some pesto I had made and brought with me along with the mushrooms, shallots etc (bringing some of your own sauces from home really does make a difference IMHO). Topped with some parmesan.

What’s for Dinner

Knowing that you travel a lot doing what you love to do I always wonder what kitchen kit you bring with to wherever. What’s your basic I can’t live without, I need these tools, bag look like?

Depends on where I go. Here (in MA-between Boston and natick), I bring Joule, some bags, sauces (freeze them so they can go in carry on) are my staples. If I don't have access to a stove but here long enough, I'll bring my torch tip and buy a canister locally. They let me have a couple of drawers at work :-) where I keep a rolling pin, a wustof chefs knife, paring knife, microplane, frying pan, and some containers. I've been known to sometimes bring my small scale and immersion blender, but I claim those are rumors. LOL.

Oh that’s an area I used to know very well! I grew up in MA then went back to work in the 80’s. If you’ve ever had Westminster Crackers that was my family’s business. Nice you have couple of drawers, I wondered if you had to travel with those sorts of things. Haha scale and immersion who would do that!?

um me depending on my plans. I made an edible grave for a dinner a coupe of years ago and shipped a bunch of stuff to myself in dry ice and brought a bunch.

👹me eat comment... mmmm

So repost...My friend's place is in Fitchburg. Even though I’d go into the city a more than few times a week I never really found a great place to pack and fly. His location was perfect because a lot of my later trips I flew out of Connecticut as it was a little more relaxing than Logan ;-) Oh yeah load up with goodies at pikes, I love those guys up there! My mom is from out here (WA) so I kinda grew up on both coasts. Lots of time spent roaming around pikes! I’m a couple hours south now so portlandia is more my destination.

If I'm staying more than 3 nights I consider airbnb or vrbo. Then, I check my sauces to see what I have and usually contact the host to see what kitchen stuff they have. Example, I have one in November that has a stock pot blender and non stick pan. But I also know I can procure some of that stuff locally if I want. If I have a dinner (I'm considering it) I can actually ship myself some stuff either to the apt (depends on host agreement with apartment committee), or I can ship to a local fedex or ups store and pick it up (that's what I did with the coffin dinner). i love portland as well!

That makes perfect sense and just about what was running though my head. It kinda seemed like a mixed bag of where you stay according to some of your prior posts which got me thinking about the logistics of it all. Thanks Todd
