This node may help - but does have pre-requisites so read the readme

If I understood correctly...  
It depends on Growl....and Growl is for OS X, means your kitchen tablet has to be an iPad

You could look into the Dashboard, in there you will find the node "notification", it's a pop-up that might be what you are looking for

There certainly used to be growl for other platforms as well. I thought OP was looking for something as OS level rather than having to have dashboard open.

I think that it would be a lot easier to manage via a web overlay rather than an OS notification. That would also have the advantage of being fully cross-platform including mobile.

Doesn't Dashboard have something?

Yes dashboard does have notifications. But as I said , when OP said they want notifications in front of Raspbian then that is at OS level. Both will work.
