In April 2019, we signed the lease on a small, very run down space that saw little to no sunlight on the edge of North East Valley, Dunedin. In hindsight, this was a very reckless decision that probably should have gone a lot worse. The food we serve at ADJØ is inspired by the Nordic kitchen, our travels and locally sourced ingredients. ADJØ was formed as a creative exploration of our passions. Our vision was to provide an alternative way to view and experience art, where the food and drinks are a segue into a creative community, and the food itself is its own form of art. We created ADJØ to be the place in between, where everyone is welcome, everyone is capably of creativity, and experimentation and collaboration is at the heart of what we do. To celebrate ourselves, our team, and all friends of ADJØ, we want to share some of our favourite recipes. This book is a little piece of ADJØ for you to keep.
