Living the coastal life, cooking for the coastal table
Coastal
by Deborah Hide-Bayne
Coastal is life lived simply and joyfully – building a dream home and a fresh start with enjoyable detours on the way into making or doing things: 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 many other projects, large and small. It’s inspiration and encouragement for readers to “have a go” themselves.

Meet the Author
Deborah Hide-Bayne
Deborah is a keen amateur cook; she ‘escaped’ to the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand in 2003 from her hectic London life in the UK as a commercial artist. She trained as a printmaker at the prestigious London art school Central St. Martins and now her passions are painting, gardening, photography, writing and cooking, which she tries to regularly combine in her work, taking responsibility for as many aspects of each project as she can. Realistic gem-like watercolours of landscapes and fruit and vegetables hang on the walls of her art studio, contrasting with fragments of found objects and collage that reference her pre-occupation with memorabilia and life here in coastal New Zealand Aotearoa.
