The most wonderful soul healing evening with my oldest and dearest friends. Somehow my husband managed to turn their garden into the trippiest little bit of paradise amid the trees. And somehow I was allowed full control of both music and fire, my two best things. Lucky lucky me…

Now mums house has sold I have decided to buy a bit of wood to work and play in. Coppicing, charcoal making, camp fire cooking, earth ovens. Wholesome shit in a mad world. We spent a lot of time last night populating my wood with wild and imaginary creatures. Laughter and friends and trees and fire and music. Just magic.

So. Any of you that might have any experience of finding, buying and managing a wood please feel to slide into my DMs 💚 by @genevieveeats

Pork shoulder slow roast with fennel, lemon & bay leaves cooked on the mighty Webe Summit Kamado

Big flavours, a long slow cook, very little effort from me!

This recipe is in HOW TO BBQ, and this weeks YouTube release goes into all the extra detail of how I set the fire up to give me the heat I need.

Almost a year to the day since we buried her I find out that today we finally sold mums house. Another family will soon move in and it won’t be empty and neglected which is good.

But it has weirdly set me backwards towards a stronger sense of grief. The finality of it all I guess. All ties to my childhood gone, zero reason to ever return to the city I grew up in.

Just acknowleging mum here in some of the pictures I found in her house, me and my brother, along with my first baby shoes. And a few snaps of her funeral that I have not looked at in a full year that have justmade me cry again ❤️

I miss her. I miss having someone to mother me. Somedays I just want a mum when everything else feels complex. Although we lost her a long time before she actually died.

At 53 my childhood is a a great deal of time in the past but today it feels raw and present. by @genevieveeats

Fresh tuna steak, buttery onions. Grill setup with a half & half fire (hot side, cool side)

1 fat tuna steak per person, each marinated in a crushed garlic clove, a good tsp each white wine vinegar & olive oil, salt & pepper

1 red onion per steak softened slowly in a good knob butter. Good slug white wine, evaporated over a higher heat. Add coriander last minute (no need to te me you don’t like it 🤣🤣🤣 just leave it out or use parsley)

Tuna grilled hot hot hot for 2-3 minutes each side. The Weber grill trays are just the best cooking surface I know for fish, plus you can chuck on a handful of samphire to wilt last minute.

Simple food, but so good!

Something new at Fire School on YouTube 🔥

I’ve spent a lot of time teaching people how to understand their BBQ’s - now I’m turning my attention to another brilliant way of cooking with fire: the wood-fired oven.

Wood-Fired Oven School starts today, right at the beginning: how the oven works, how I light it, how I manage the fire - then throughout the series we’ll move through pizza temperatures and onto all the brilliant cooking you can do as the oven heat begins to fall.

And don’t worry, Bristol Fire School isn’t turning onto a wood oven channel! I’ll still be weaving in BBQ, smoking and food science films in along the way.

Episode 1: How to Light a Wood Fired Oven is now on YouTube.

Come and join me 😘🔥

Greek-ish Stuffed vegetables, inspired by Gemista (first eaten on holiday in Crete, love at first bite!) and a recipe in my book HOW TO BBQ

Can’t think of a better oil to use than @aetos.ithaki who have strong family connections to my city of Bristol. Not an ad, I just truly adore this oil ❤️

Full film of this cook in up on YouTube now (@GenevieveTaylorTV) where I explore the kind of heat this dish needs to cook to perfection and talk about how understanding that heat is way more important than following somebody elses cooking setups…

1. @meatopiauk 2026,

Ex dairy beef gyros for 830 people, 829 of which were very happy 🤣 one person told me it was a bit shit. I’ll take that ratio of happiness

I had the best team, thanks a million!

@beckyprideaux_
@fire_pirate_si
@lord_danthomas

(If we look hot, sweaty, intense, a bit past it, we were… this was taken at the end of 7 hours of absolutely SLAMMING it non stop)

2. Loading one of two spits, featuring just a mere 37kg of the finest ex dairy beef chuck @meatmattersltd could send me.

Huge thanks to @yetieurope for coolers that kept 75kg of beef safe and fridge cold for over 36 hours. If the EHO came a calling I have photohraphic degree celcius evidence 🤣

3. Spin spin baby

Felt just great to get my @oxgrills trompos out once again for their 4th Meatopia appearane

4. Look cool calm & pleasant they said, fuck off I said

5. Our dish was liberally dressed with the finest Greek extra virgin olive oil we could get our hands on. Thanks @aetos.ithaki for making such exquisite oil ❤️

6. Full dish: ex dairy gyros, fava puree, feta, capers, onions, herbs, and a slug of extra virgin. And the fluffiest of handmade pittas from @nutipita (so good!)

(recipe in How to BBQ)

7. I mean, majestic AF @oxgrills 🔥

I’ve missed working these grills

8. A finely balanced operation…

9. … maxed out the weight capacity to the point of extreme

10. … was it going to turn?

… was it going to fall off?

… were the motors gonna take it?

11. Ditto

(Plus a little setting the place on fire jeopardy. Go hard or go home)

12. Each spit served well over 400 people, yeah I wish I took my knife sharpener

13. Sunset over Tobacco Dock, always magic ❤️ by @genevieveeats

What. A. Setup. ❤️‍🔥 @genevieveeats is putting on a SHOW with this one. Spiced ex-dairy beef gyros, fava purée, feta, pickled onions, capers & herbs. Charred, juicy, salty, sharp and absolutely loaded. The kind of thing you want to get stuck into with both hands. Big, messy, glorious stuff. 🔥 taken in Meatopia UK by @genevieveeats
