This is the second part of our beach lunch with friends. As mentioned before, we invited some good friends to our beach hut for the day and all of our children, now teens were busy doing other things leaving just us grown-ups to enjoy beach hut life. We chatted and chatted, laughed and giggled but mostly we missed our teens. Happy they are doing fun things, teenage things but we…
Our youngest teen took part in the ASL Ice Bucket Challenge but chose a cancer charity to donate to instead of ASL; mainly because we lost my Mum to cancer and my sister has leukemia. My sister continues to work full time, has three kids on her own and battles on regardless of having an incurable illness. I think she’s rather brilliant but she will be really big-sister-cross with me for…
Party at the beach hut planned, big crowd coming and I opted to cook steak on a barbecue. Told everyone. Everyone prepared. Everyone looking forward to it. What I didn’t plan for was the weather. Turning chilly with the threat of rain. Blast. We all made the decision it would be at ours which although only a short walk from the beach hut, would make it easier for us all…

I love a cocktail or two and if I’m planning a drinks party or…
Summer is all about school fetes, cricket matches and days out to the beach, so wherever you pitch up this easy afternoon tea will hit the spot. A selection of sandwiches served with a coffee cup-sized serving of soup on the side. Afterwards serve scones, clotted cream and jams with a side of lusciously rich Lemon Possett and I’ve got a feeling you will feel refreshed and deliciously stated all…
My name is Elinor Hill, aka "Beach Hut Cook". I am lucky enough to live by the sea, and I spend a ridiculous amount of time there in our beach hut. I love cooking simple and tasty food for my family, often down the hut or carefully transported to it. There is nothing better than a feast by the sea with the odd cocktail or two thrown in. For me: it’s as good as it gets.
