This time last year, I looked back over the previous year and decided to make it the year of Less is More and I think I didn’t do too bad. My plan was to spend less on the food bill, more time outdoors, more fun, more laughter and more Beach Hut Cook and you know what, I think I did good. So for this year I’m going to do more…
You know when you find yourself saying, “Come to us for dinner” and then immediately you start to feel that cold white feeling running down your back and you wish you had just kept your mouth shut.

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.
