Hidden Hut cookbook

I’ve worked with the team at the Hidden Hut for the last few years, photographing their feast nights. In that time, through all winds, weathers and seasons, I’ve gathered a library of photos of life at the Hut. It’s been a real privilege to be able to work on a photography project over such a long period of time. The opportunity to capture the way the light and the atmosphere changes according to the time of year down there is a real luxury, it deserves the hype, it is truly a special place. Over this time friendships have been formed and a lot of good food has been eaten.

So, taking all this into account, it’s been very exciting to see the Hidden Hut’s cookbook come to life when it was published by Harper Collins on 3rd May. It’s a beautifully produced book with some lovely Scandi inspired layouts and sumptuous food photography from Susan Bell. It’s lovely to see that a bundle of feast night photography has made it into the book as well, forming the introduction to the book and are dotted throughout the subsequent pages, helping to set the (often smokey) scene. Congratulations to Si & Jem for producing such a beautiful book, it's been a real joy to work with you both over these last few years. My Nikon has been well and truly permeated by the smell of smoke from the Hut fires!

Enjoy a few snaps below of the book and of the lovely launch that took place in Borough Market:

Above: Introduction page accompanied by a moody shot taken at one of the rather inclement feast nights. Can't beat the great British summer time. 

Above: One of my favourite feasts, a long table along the shoreline of Porthcurnick beach, beautiful lobsters over the grill. Just gorgeous.
