Last weekend we headed inland and went luxury camping with some friends. We went to Wattle Hill Oast in Staplecross, East Sussex which provides bell tents, fire pits and the best bit .... a swimming pool, sauna and gym! It was great to spend some time relaxing, eating and talking with friends and as our kids are all now teenagers, it was good to see them all enjoying one another's…

The last two weeks we have been on holiday: at home, down the beach hut. Well as you might have seen from my last post also doing a lot of decorating. My husband doesn't like decorating and I have attention issues (self-diagnosed). Anyway all decorating complete - for now. The bank holiday weekend is certainly not a time for decorating and household chores, it's a time for family, friends and…
I love a home holiday; two weeks of long lazy days doing nothing, don't you? Well if you take out the wallpaper stripping our bedroom bit then who doesn't. Hmm, my husband actually. He hates DIY with such a passion that I dread even having to even mention it. His unique skill set lies in the world of negotiation and salesmanship not knee deep in peeling plaster and masking tape.…
We are off to Lounge on the Farm music festival; we decided to go more local festival-wise this year as it's only about an 90 minutes away.

This recipe is a great TV dinner. Yeah, yeah I know what you're thinking slippery slope and all that but no chance; eating…

So, cook something from your holidays or something that makes you feel summery again just this last time before we embrace that new season fast approaching. Spanish Seaside Supper (serves…

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.
