We have a couple of birthdays this month so we’ve gathered together at the beach hut to have a little party and we cooked Moroccan Spiced Chicken Flatbreads on the fire pit. Having your favourite people around you while you cook and everyone eats together is the best way to celebrate especially when you've got a few age ranges to celebrate! Here's my latest YouTube video showing how birthday feast [embed]https://youtu.be/uj0Z_hiNyp4[/embed]…
I now make a weekly mini movie every Saturday on Instagram which we call Beach Shorts in our house! These mini movies are no more than a minute long, sometimes shorter and feature ultra easy recipes that don't need a recipe blog post.

Weekend breakfasts are cherished in our house. After a busy week, we love nothing better than lazy late feasts where we can catch up with each other and read the odd magazine or newspaper before the jobs of the day loom large and we can put them off no longer.

Fitting in a roast dinner into all that can feel a little daunting but this easy roast dinner can easily…

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.

For me: it’s as good as it gets.
