Food ….
Well it is not my first love but it is not far off!
My way of relaxing .. Here are some of the stories that relate to my life …
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO AUTUMN…..
It is a good enough saying …. ‘Do something whilst times are good’ … In principal anyway … Sometimes you just have to do things in the moment to take your mind off other things and that can make you feel better … In the moments of quiet that is what I have been trying to do and in the last few months it has not always been easy… Natalie Paddick
Rainnbow Trout with Pommes Anna…
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!
My Madeira Cake…
Madeira cake - A family favourite in the Paddick, household, this is a great version of using up left over chocolate, especially after Easter … It is a two pot mix & so simple …
Easter Cooking…
Easter is different this year, sort of! Natalie & her family enjoy eating & drinking. So this year is going to be all about eating & drinking & the Egg Game of course … Happy Easter …
Spaghetti, tomatoes & Garlic
Spaghetti, tomatoes & garlic, just a simple & easy supper … No fuss required! By NP/ME Food & Entertaining …
BRETON FISH STEW …
Valentines Day this year is going to ‘a bit paired down’ if you get my meaning - So why not make it simple with this beautiful aromatic fish stew …. Happy Valentines Day … XX

‘Having your cake & Eating it’ Recipes…

A Quick Lunch in France….
A Quick Lunch in France is based on the refurbishment & interior design of a dilapidated French Country House in Brittany, it took Natalie & Ben Paddick of NP/ME Style nearly a year to undertake the project, mostly because the French like to have long leisurely lunches & Natalie loves prawns & chips! A Quick Lunch in France …. Not that there is such a thing! …. But this is how we spent lunchtimes whilst working on a project in France… When all the shops & building suppliers were closed… Eating prawns & Langoustine looking out at the sea…. Drinking wine … Of course!
Tart! Childhood Memories
Tart! Childhood Memories - Natalie Paddick of NP/ME Style talks about her mother who would make quiches back in the early 1980’s…Natalie discuss’s the interior design styles of the day. “We all thought we were so ‘of the moment’… Despite this recipe being around for years in the name of egg & bacon ‘tart’.. But the difference was we now called it Quiche …. That of course made all the difference!” This blog also contains Natalie’s Quiche recipe.
