Cuisine Magazine - September 2004

New York Times article

Dear Editor

I wanted to say thank you to Cuisine for the wonderful article on Gareth Hughes from Down Under Pies in New York. I was stuck for a birthday gift idea for a an Australian friend who lives in Connecticut but who calls New Zealand home. I knew his wife had organised a trip to the Big Apple staying a couple of nights at a hotel in Manhattan, so I contacted Gareth and asked him if it would be possible to get a delivery of his down-under pies to the hotel. Not only did he organise the delivery, he did so on Sunday just before they checked out and the pies were frozen in a lovely cooler bag all ready for their trip back to Connecticut.

We are very popular. If there is one thing we all miss when we live and travel overseas, it's the comfort food of home.

Thanks to Gareth it was a breeze to organise and we wouldn't have thought of it without your article. Now if you could find a butcher who makes good old-fashioned pork sausages and who will deliver to Connecticut, we will have the next birthday sorted.
