The Little Beach Hut Of Dreams

I was lucky enough to spend the day in the ‘Little Beach Hut Of Dreams‘ in Brighton last week, so I whipped up lots of delicious food in preparation and enjoyed them all tucked inside (it was a cloudy and windy day!). 

The beach hut is beautifully decorated in greys, whites and pale pinks with big fluffy cushions to help you get comfortable while you daydream the day away. It’s free to use but be prepared to be in a long queue waiting for your day here! Applications are open now for 2016 – apply here.

As it’s the height of Summer, I thought I’d create a few fresh and healthy recipes perfect for on-the-go to enjoy during picnics or a day at the beach. They’re all listed below, or you can watch my video at the bottom of this post.
