I'm Genevieve Taylor, a live fire cook, food writer and teacher based in Bristol. I'm the author of fourteen cookbooks, including the trilogy CHARRED, SEARED, SCORCHED and my latest book, HOW TO BBQ.

I run Bristol Fire School, teaching small, hands-on classes where we explore the endless possibilities of cooking over wood and charcoal. I also share what I've learned through my YouTube channel, Genevieve Taylor TV, where the focus is on understanding fire and becoming a better, more confident cook. A committed omnivore, I'm on a mission to show that great barbecue is about so much more than meat. Good ingredients, good fuel and a little curiosity can take you a very long way.

When I'm not cooking, I'm usually out walking in the woods with my dog, growing things on my Bristol allotment or listening to a lot of music just a little bit too loud.
