Porthminster Cookbook
Our new limited edition cookbook.
Two years in the making, this beautiful book not only includes some of the café’s secret recipes but also contains photography of St Ives at its very best.
Many guests take away their beach-side memories in the form of Porthminster Beach Café – The Cookbook, a collection of signature recipes compiled by Executive Chef, Mick Smith. Dishes including the famous Monkfish Curry, Sea bass with Crab Fritters and Chilli Ponzu, and Deconstructed Pimms, can all now be recreated at home.
