Irresistible feasts to share and remember with family and friends from the ocean, fields and clifftops of Cornwall.Simon Stallard set up The Hidden Hut to huge critical acclaim in 2011. An outdoor restaurant in Cornwall, tucked down on a remote sandy beach with no road access and completely off grid. He cooks up huge atmospheric open air feasts for their guests throughout the summer, whatever the weather. In 2017, over 22,000 people applied for just 600 covers over their season, with tickets selling out within minutes of release each month, making it the hottest restaurant ticket in the UK. Simon's cooking techniques have become iconic in Cornwall - from fire pits in the sand to wind-chime fish smokers and wood-fired rotisseries - his feasts are influenced by the smouldering fires and field-to-fork Cornish produce that fill his outdoor beach kitchen.The Hidden Hut cookbook showcases inspiration for creating a magical and memorable feast of your own, whether you're cooking for four or forty, in your friend's flat or on a remote windswept beach. The recipes are adapted for the home cook and include delicious, achievable dishes for both small family meals and larger gatherings. Many of the recipes have the option to be cooked indoors conventionally or outdoors over fire.As well as sharing the feasts that made them so famous, there are further favourite Hidden Hut recipes for filling your flask with soups, chowder and spiced dhal, alfresco summer salads, warming winter braises and homely Cornish treats."These are the fastest selling food events in the UK. Is it really worth the hype? Absolutely!" Jay Rayner
