Coastal

Charting her deepening love affair with coastal New Zealand, artist and writer Deborah Hide-Bayne has just self-published a second book overflowing with stunning photography, easy seasonal recipes and projects to inspire (following the successful Coromandel Flavour: a year of cooking at the bach published in 2012).

This is life lived simply and joyfully – the story of building a dream home and a fresh start with enjoyable detours on the way into making or doing things

for yourself: art and craft projects, collecting seafood, making a vegetable garden and growing your own veggies, planting an orchard, smoking a fish, making sausages and an abundance of other projects, large and small. Starting in the Spring, read this book season by season, and either follow Deborah on her journey or dip a toe into one or two things that you’ve never tried before...
