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, it is tucked down on a remote sandy beach with no road access or mobile signal, where he cooks up huge atmospheric open air feasts for their guests every night, whatever the weather. In 2017 22,000 people applied for just 600 covers over their summer season, with tickets selling out within minutes of release each month, making it the hottest restaurant ticket in the UK. The Hidden Hut cookbook will showcase the fundamental elements for creating a magical and memorable feast of your own, whether your cooking for four or a hundred and four, in your friend’s front room or on a remote windswept summer beach. The recipes will be adaptable for the home cook and allow the flexibility to cater for both small gatherings and larger parties. Simon’s cooking techniques are unique in the UK – inspired by the gaucho fires of Francis Mallman and the thoughtful flavours of Yotam Ottolenghi.The recipes for the feasts that made them so famous are obviously at the centre of this book, as well as championing the idea that the cook shouldn’t be hidden out at the back missing the party; they should be in the midst of it, adding theatre, smoke and flavour to the atmosphere, creating conversation. As well as sharing some of the feasts, there are further favourite Hidden Hut recipes for filling your flask with soup, energy rich flapjacks for walkers, summer salads, warming winter braises, refreshing wild cordials and homemade milkshakes will also feature.The Hidden Hut is an impossibly, amazingly successful windswept foodie hideaway, that anyone can now get a ticket to, to recreate their cult feast nights and the whipped-up-sea-wind-fuelled atmosphere at home through the magic of their love of excellent food, flavour and sense of adventure.“This is the fastest selling ticketed event in the UK. Is it really worth the hype? Absolutely!” Jay Raynor
