Cooking in the Fire Pit with the Bosnian Sutch

February 01, 2017/ Kirsty Manning-Wilcox
Cooking in the Fire Pit with the Bosnian Sutch

We have a Bosnian Sutch that makes feeding a crowd super-easy. Throw in different cuts of meat, vegetables, tins of tomatoes, garlic, herbs from the garden and a few pinches of smoked paprika, cover with coals, and a few hours later we have a one-pot dinner.

Baked Lemon and Rosewater Cheesecake

No family celebration happens in our household without cheesecake (and Champagne!). It had to be baked, NY-style and quite often I make two. Here's the recipe from by book, We Love Food.

The Cake Staple: Butter Cake

You can tell by the splatter marks on this page what an essential recipe butter cake is for my family.

Most cakes start here and I swap out the recipe depending on what fruit/ingredients I have to hand.

Cheat's Guide to Baking Focaccia

March 24, 2016/ Kirsty Manning-Wilcox
Cheat's Guide to Baking Focaccia

Focaccia is the easiest thing to make. Use this recipe when friends pop over for a drink and you want to pretend you've done something fancy,  or when you want to bulk out a lunch for carb-sucking creatures (like my kids). It's my all-time go-to!

Hot Cross Buns

This morning my boys got up with the sun and made hot cross buns. It's easy and fun but requires #patience for the #rising, hence I stay well clear!

I just finished this book on @audible and savoured every word. 
I think listening to Michelle Obama speak was the best way to inhale this book. 
So many words of wisdom and powerful everyday moments. A light for positive action on topics of ethnicity, race, women and children. 
I miss the Obamas ... ❤️

Phew! 🤗That moment when you read through the manuscript you put aside before Christmas ... and discover it is better than you originally thought. *************************************
All that hard work and daydreaming last year was like a present to my 2019 self 🎁******************************************************Good luck to all the writers out there plugging away on their current manuscript. 😘❤️🤛*************************************
So excited to be on the home run for this manuscript for #book3 — at least home run of the first draft! 
Now all I have to do is work out #whodunnit 🤞😉

I’ve been doing a tonne of driving over the holidays ... and also now kids are back at school. 
I love having a podcast, or talking book, that the teens, tween and I can all enjoy! 
And who doesn’t love a Greek god? 😉
It’s @stephenfryactually retelling the myths and legends. It will have you all hooked, I promise! #audible #mythos #stephenfry
Lunch ...
My friend @sallyhepworth has her latest novel out this week. 
I read an early copy and frankly, you should read it too! 
A mother-in-law murdered ... tricky and complex family relationships all round. Super-clever book. Also, Sally’s writing is funny and sharp and sassy. What’s not to love?
