Food ….

My way of relaxing .. Here are some of the stories that relate to my life …

The Christmas Sausage Roll …

Mad about Veg!
I have always like vegetables & the older I get - the more I like them, because they are so versatile. My new thrill is ZHOUG! Not only is the name fantastic - the flavour is divine and it is super ‘multitalented’ it goes with everything! It is a middle eastern favourite which is used as an accompaniment to various foods - Veg & Protein alike!

A simple meal of Rainbow trout, Potato Anna with crispy cucumber pickle, finished of with a slice of Madeira cake.. Natalie Paddick’s suggestion for November 2021 or anytime really!
Pickled Cucumber…
A brilliantly simple, quick Cucumber pickle that literally goes with everything on a plate - just give it a go!
ANCHOVIES..
There is such a ‘Marmite’ attitude to Anchovies… I think that they get a bad reputation, from those that are not in the know! They are an essential ingredient for flavouring in many dishes, but they are also delicious on there own .. This recipe will become one of your favourites, I promise!
