Four years. Woah! Where did that go!!! We’ve shared recipes from our little hillside kitchen in Wales and all the way from India, Turkey, Italy, Cuba, France, Panama, Spain…..It’s been a rollercoaster ride of deliciousness.
We are super excited to announce a competition to help us celebrate our fourth BHK birthday party with you on the 31st January ’16. Basically, we want to send out a big tasty virtual hug to you all and THANK YOU (thankyouthankyou….x loads) for everything! There are copies of Peace & Parsnips to win and it’s oh so easy to enter (see below).
YOU’RE THE BEST!
We simply couldn’t (and wouldn’t) do it without you all. Reading your comments and support makes sharing what we are passionate about so very sweet! The hours that we spend happily testing recipes, typing them up and photographing them are very well spent. Its wonderful to be part of a group of passionate and kind food lovers; whether you’re in Saudi Arabia or Southampton, Japan or Jerusalem……we share the same common joy of cooking and of course, eating!
It seems like an age since we came up with the idea for the Beach House Kitchen over a cup of tea. Its been such a big part of our lives now, 384 posts and still going strong…..I had just returned from India and was ‘between’ jobs and felt like sharing recipes and meeting wonderful new like-minded people. Jane felt the same and it was as simple as that. The blog has led us straight into so many incredible projects; like a TV series and a cookbook! Who knew!! What a wild ride it has been!!!
The Beach House Kitchen has always been approached as a hobby. We both love writing and cooking, but are by no means food photographers or computer genius folk. From our first hasty snaps of dishes in our little kitchen, we have tried to become more creative in our presentation and how we choose to share the food that we eat. We have learnt and developed so much through the blog.
The Beach House Kitchen remains true to its roots, we post what we eat and we eat what we post! Its what we’ve just had for dinner, piping hot out of the oven and made with what’s local, seasonal and most importantly, in the cupboards. We don’t plan much (ever) and share what we love; hearty, home-cooked, happiness!
THE WAY WE EAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
THE COMPETITION – HOW TO ENTER AND WIN!
As a way of saying thank you to all of you for the support over the years, even if you’re just tuning in, we thought we’d give away three copies of our latest cookbook ‘Peace & Parsnips’. If you are regulars to the blog, you’ll be very familiar with it by now!
The idea is gorgeous food, made with plants. Vibrant, sensational, vegan wonder foods! That’s it! Share your beautiful creations with us, be it savoury or sweet and we’ll pick our favourites.
The three categories are little plate, big plate and sweet treat with a copy of the book to be won for each course. We’re celebrating with a three course feast! You can enter one recipe, or a recipe for each course.
Recipes have to be your own, something you love to cook and can have appeared on blogs or other publications before. Recipes should be accompanied by a nice picture and a little note as to why you think we’ll like it would also be appreciated.
We’ll then post the winning recipes on the blog on 31st January ’16.

Please share the competition and love with your friends and like-minded happy foodies. The more the merrier!
*The competition is only open to UK residents as ‘Peace & Parsnips’ is quite a chunky book and doesn’t travel so well. So it’s postage in the UK only.*

So sorry I can’t enter the ” competition “, but so happy for you! You’re doing an amazing job!
Thank you! Maybe we’ll have another competition next year?! Happy cooking:)
It is a shame. Where are you in the world?
I’m from Milan, Italy! I’m already thinking about the recipe, doesn’t matter if I can’t win, I wanna be part of your awesome project!
Amazing!!! We’d love to receive one of your glendalicious recipes. YUM!!
Happy Birthday and thank you so much for sharing your love of plant based food.
Thank you Vicky! We’d love to see a gluten-free recipe?!
Huge congratulations to you Lee on a wonderful book & a fantastic blog! For folks who say plant based eating is boring, I say buy a copy of Peace & Parsnips! Every recipe I have tried is a flavour sensation, visually appealing & healthy! We share the same passion, although I’m not as far along as you! Wishing you continued success!
Thanks Janice, you’re a superstar. Your blog is an inspiration to us, beautiful, healthy recipes. Cor! Viva veggies:)
