Building a Brick Cooker in my Garden. The food tastes AMAZING! #4

I've finally been able to finish this video! Anthony White, my neighbour and friend built the Brick Cooker a few weeks ago, but the rain here has been relentless, and I have been away for my other channel The Last Homely House so finally, yesterday, I was able to go round the garden pick all the vegetables that were ready and make an amazing plate of food! The potatoes are a variety called Pink Fir Apple, the beetroot are that old favourite Bolthardy. I picked broad beans, onion, courgette, lettuce, plum tomato, cucumber, flat leaved parsley, basil, mint, and thyme. The lemon and the garlic were not my own, nor the seasoning, but most of my food was home grown! I have some chilli growing in the polytunnel, so next time I'll use that!
It was so much fun! I just hope the weather continues to be warm so I can cook again and again!
Thank you for watching! If you are interested in the full version of the first time I used the cooker, when I could barely see for wood smoke, then visit Patreon on Friday at 5.00 pm BST. I thought my patrons would enjoy a good chuckle at my expense for that Behind The Scenes honest first attempt!

Thank you to Owen Jackson for the drone shots!
And thank you for your support here! I hope you enjoy the music too. It is from Epidemic Sound and is called in the order you'll hear it ...

I cannot overstate how very much I enjoyed this. You surely have a bit of heaven in your garden. Your meal looked so vibrant and delicious. Enjoy your new brick oven.

[@joharmon2148]

How wonderful your new brick BBQ is and to just be able to walk in your amazing garden and pick such beautiful fresh things to eat❤ Enjoy many more outdoor cookouts!

[@sharonzotoff3975]

Gosh, if there was ever a time that I wanted to climb through the screen and spend an afternoon, it was now. Your garden is an oasis in a very hectic world. It made me smile today.

[@lauralinash5341]

Yes! I wanted to join you, Kate, and taste that delicious concoction you made in the pan with the beans!😊

[@lisajahn6839]

This is such a very wonderful episode! It was a great pleasure to watch! A big thanks to all who helped make this happen along with yourself and Rita! Enjoy it all. Be well, stay safe all. Thank you!❤😊

[@aliciaquintano6506]

I loved hearing CatRita meowing and looking so fine and the views of the birds at the end were just wonderful. You have created such a lovely world!

[@isabellbourke8878]

Thank you Kate for the most peaceful episode. You are so special to all your lime green friends. Your garden and everything grown in it, the visiting birds and Rita the cat are a pleasure to see. The stove and food cooked in it looked delicious. Take care X ♥

[@fayet.5200]

Kate has anyone told you how amazing you are!! Do you sleep at night or dream/plan all your ideas!! Incredible cooking, food, and preparation!! Cheers to your fantastic meal😀

[@Gillian-3]

What a feast! what an oven! and what a wonderful bird feeder line-up! I love the woodpecker contentedly feeding on those peanuts! Thank you Kate! 😊

[@faithfifield7278]

This may only be a video, but as a fellow Gardener where everything is just a bit over grown and crowded yet prefect, your garden is a place I could get lost with a good book or some knitting and sit for hours in peacefulness of just nature around me. Thank you for sharing it's beauty with us.❤

[@annkathy257]

What a joy to partake in the fruits of your labors! I also enjoyed seeing the birds at your feeders! 🙂

[@amcclellan509]

The drone shot of your garden was fantastic! It’s laid out so beautifully and it looks like there are many little areas to sit and enjoy each section. Love the brick oven. Anthony did a great job!

[@user-uc5zb5ts3s]

Oh Miss Kate, I love your brick cooker. I enjoyed watching Ant building it because my Dad was a brick layer for almost 50 years. Congratulations on you outdoor cooking success it looked delicious. I have just recently found your garden channel and find it wonderful. It's a very calming way to end my day. Thank you.

[@sohocraft]

I love the brick oven and your garden ! I want to thank you for sharing and for being a comfort and joy for me and all the rest of us on the limegreen sofa. ❤

[@user-sp3qq4te6m]

Восхитительно и вы сама Чудо!

[@inezwalsh2584]

I have to show this cooking bricks to my son…He is very handy …It’s a wonderful space to spend time…

[@Chercher4848]

Beautiful Kate! Your yard is so private, what a great spot to cook up a healthy meal. I enjoyed seeing so many birds enjoying their food as well. I am so happy I found your channel just a few weeks ago. ❤

[@conniehale2387]

How wonderful, growing the food that you can cook outside in the midst of your beautiful garden. And now to be able to share it with your family, that is truly fabulous!

[@palominogirl2732]

Most of my meals are vegetables or animals I've grown/raised. There is great satisfaction to looking at your plate and knowing the work, time, love, that went into growing your own food. Your videos are very, very, good Kate!

[@lollybirlin4155]

I’m so thankful you are here, on this planet, at this particular time. I so appreciate you.

[@kathidubach]

I love love love that brick oven!! It must be so nice to cook on it. „Now I can invite the family“ - cut to the birds having a party on the feeders… 😂 of course, they‘re part of the Last Homely Garden Family, too! I‘m amazed at the great variety of birds you get all at once.

[@tonikreicbergs4822]

Sitting on the end of the lime green sofa and I am enjoying the aromatic smells from the cooked vegetables and the stir-fry. Thank you for sharing your outdoor cooking ideas❤️

[@jillychandler]

It was sooo lovely to see cat Rita again! That food looked amazing and tasty! Lovely peaceful garden video, thank you Kate. xxx

[@agnesjamont6415]

You are so fortunate to have skilled friends to call upon to help realize your visions!

[@rubygray7749]

What a lovely video from creation to completion to culinary triumph. This will be a wonderful fulfilment of the beauty and abundance of your garden, bringing it all together outdoors. Now you just need a little roof to shelter your stove from rain, with a rain barrel attached, so you can cook in all weather, and you can do the washing up outside as well!

[@glynismarsh4532]

Splendid! My cats looked up when CatRita meowed and it all looks so delish!

[@user-wm2ok7iu4v]

Love the drone shot. The garden looks so neat and tidy. I'm pretty new too the last homely house and garden, but have watched so much. As a widow living alone, I so appreciate what you do and how you keep busy. I am also a maker (Jack of all trades Master of some). My activity is very different here in Florida. Stay outside as much as I can to avoid the news. Politics is not my thing. Wish I were able to find helpers like you have. At 86 there are a lot of things I can't do alone. Hang in there and carry on. Barbara

[@kindlydude]

If you attend church don't be shy about asking your church family to help you. My dad mowed the lawn of a lady who could no longer do so for many years & both she & my dad enjoyed the mutual company. My mother had her over for Christmas, Easter & other holidays and we kids got to hear a lot of interesting tales about Oklahoma before statehood ..."cowboys & Indians" & all that.

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

What a beautiful areal view at the start of this video!! And how lucky can you be with such a fantastic brick cooker. I always love watching crafts people like this mason do such beautiful work. I'll bet your potatoes and beets were just smashing. Love this addition to your beautiful garden. May I just say that I absolutely love your style of gardening with all the yard art and paths etc.

[@margaretberryman6260]

That's what I thought too! So beautiful. Where I live in Australia, it gets cold and garden quite sparse, but we don't have such large variation as snow/green growth in winter/summer. Some areas here do have snow, in our country. Loved seeing Kate's aerial video at beginning!

[@kindlydude]

I didn't realize it snowed at all in Australia until I watched the movie... "The Man From Snowy River"!! I believe it was in the mountains in Victoria? It was beautiful scenary & a beautiful film! @@margaretberryman6260

[@vickiebasu1080]

What a lovely way to create a summer meal! Thank you, too, for Cat Rita and the birds. Anothersplendid vlog.

[@suzisaintjames]

I pick beet greens all through the growing season, much as one would do with kale and lettuce, leaving the beet root to continue to grow. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@carolecaudill4962]

Whenever you do the introduction I can hear you narrating a movie or reading a book aloud . The most calming peaceful voice I believe I’ve ever heard. Makes my heart smile. I love the bbq pit !!! You will love it I know ❤

[@wendywiese419]

Thank you for inviting us into your beautiful garden. I love the new brick cooking place. Your garden is a peaceful sanctuary. You are truly blessed, and so are we to have as a virtual friend. Thank Kate.

[@barbarabryan-wilson8629]

I agree it a lovely way to spend an afternoon! The kitty adds just the right touch too!

[@jeanlebaron7628]

I swear, when you broke that potato packet open, I could smell it. Fabulous, fresh, and healthy! ❤ Planted, harvested, cooked, and enjoyed. Wonderful.

[@karinanderson7319]

Kate, your new brick cooker is Fantabulous!!!! What a lovely addition to your garden. Roasted beets and potatoes are my favourite, but I wouldn't have thought of adding mint to the potatoes....I will have to try that! Thank you for having us to dinner!🤗💖

[@edithmonteith9557]

How lovely to have someone you know so well to do the work.

[@knackfulknitter]

Such a peaceful and calm day spent with you, Kate. Thank you. 💕

[@artaberns364]

Kate, I love your outdoor cooker. I love to cook outside whenever I can. Food seems to taste better. Your garden is so lovely. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven . Really enjoy your garden videos.

[@heidigriesbach9550]

What a beautiful garden around your house. Really a homely garden. What a pleasure to watch the videos you're showing to your followers... You've got such a nice outdoor cooking place for your vegetables and a comfortable place to sit with family and friends to enjoy life.... Thank you so much for showing....

[@Mamasmovietime]

What a wonderful looking meal. I love all the herbs, and the different vegetables. I love that kind of meal it's so satisfying. And to watch you prepare outside was amazing.

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Kate...I love spending time with you in the garden...the bird feeders were wonderful❤❤

[@ritaleek4588]

Beautiful meal, hope you get to enjoy many more outside with the nice, warm weather. The birds were excited to eat their “bird cuisine” too .😊

[@christinephillips2069]

The food looked amazing Kate. Also look at all the birds in your garden ….. perfect vlog …I’m going to try the roasted beetroot yummy

[@barbarakemp5935]

A beautiful garden, and your brick oven such a joy seeing you cook all of your vegetables. I must tell you that I lost my cucumber plants because we had too much rain, my tomatoes are fine , I enjoy having a small garden. It is such a joy to see you.❤❤❤

[@myownlittlehouse471]

This was so fun to watch, Kate! The brick oven is beautiful. Now my husband wants to make one :) What an amazing meal!

[@marybeth4002]

Kate, What a delight this was. Your brick oven is just beautiful and.. so sweet that it was built by your neighbor and someone from years ago when your kids were young. Sweet .

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Hello, Kate! I LOVE the aerial views of your home and garden! It really shows the proximity of your home and the lake/reservoir. The maze of pathways and gardens is simply gorgeous! I always enjoy your cooking segments. Like you, I typically prepare meals for just myself, and it is easy to default to a simple meal with little imagination. You truly inspire me to make a better effort to make my meals more flavourful. Thank you Kate,-and as always-keep well! 😊 Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@lindaday4956]

Ahh Kate..what a wonderful outdoor cooker!! And the food from your garden looked delicious! Thank you for sharing❤

[@katehenry2718]

Thanks for inviting us ))) I'm eating my own lunch while watching you cook. Your lunch could be cooked over campfire, so I will bring parts of it to the camp in a week. YUMS

[@denisevettraino7916]

What a Glorious garden space you've created, Kate ! and the outdoor oven is super cool ! My mouth was watering at all the beautiful homegrown produce and herb you cooked to perfection, Bravo ❣

[@shirleywormald3197]

That meal looks so good,can’t beat lovely fresh veg and pink fir apple potatoes are divine ❤

[@SandraOranje]

Hi Kate. Your garden looks amazing. The fun thing is, I've watched the building of a brick oven a few days ago, but I must say yours looks way better and more beautiful. Nice job, Anthony. That looked so tasteful. I use a trick on the broad beans when they are a little too tough. You can what I call "double peel" them. The thin layer of the bean can easily be removed, and the beans will taste so much better. Enjoy your lovely oven/grill. ❤❤❤❤xxxx

[@loo1436]

Oh my Kate! What a lively lovely garden you have. The food looked delicious and the birds at your feeder! What a beautiful slice of heaven on earth you have carved out for yourself. Love your videos❤😊

[@joanspiller1553]

You have the most beautiful garden! Your veggies looked so delicious. The birds add so much "music". You have created a paradise!

[@carolinegetman2720]

So calming and lovely! Those brick ovens are marvelous! Congratulations on getting it done. 🎉. Each time you cook on it you’ll get better and better!! Enjoy.

[@GeeBee111]

You are so lucky to have Anthony available to do this work for you. He not only does impeccable work but also cares very much for your garden and understands your vision. Thanks for sharing. The pond videos are my favorite... Eileen must be over the moon with joy to have her very own pond!

[@tinatippin5705]

What an absolute pleasure it must be to have that brick cooking place. Food cooked over fire is the best. Your garden is responding beautifully.

[@labnurse1]

Squeel! I absolutely love the birds at the feeders. Well done on your outdoor cookery. I can taste the crunchy bits on the potatoes - my favorite part! Thank you for the cheer in my day.

[@victoriaratajeski6843]

Your dinner looks so good! I love your yard and all of the beautiful things you have created! It is a beautiful sanctuary! Cat Rita is so sweet!

[@heidim7732]

I just returned from a camping trip with friends, and most of the cooking was done over the campfire - including a lovely dessert of canned fruit slices (peaches, pears, and mangos) sauted in butter, drizzled with maple syrup, and served hot over a bit of vanilla pudding before being topped with whipped cream. You can get very fancy with cooking over a simple fire, can't you!

[@zenandink3531]

My mouth is watering 😮… what a wonderful brick oven to cook all of those BEAUTIFUL veggies!🎉❤

[@suedavison4891]

I'm sitting in bed knitting socks and I'm sooo hungry..that looked delicious xx

What a lovely haven you have in your garden! Such beautiful fruits of your labor! The meal looks delicious! Wish I could join you there!!😊

[@shirleyflavell5705]

Oh wow Kate, fantastic and what a beautiful brick cooker. The birds were having a great feed from their feeders as well.

[@normanearhoof5274]

Thank you for making this channel. I am an outdoor person and I love to grow things. You have inspired me. Also, my name is Norma - and I am a cat person. 🐔🐓🐱 🐾 😊

[@suzisaintjames]

Consider building your fire on a grate. Having more air flow might make your fires less smokey. All my BBQs have a grate inside to build the fire. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@venitabucceri8435]

What a yummy meal that must have been! So rewarding to be able to harvest and cook immediately ❤

[@gilscot100]

What a lovely project and the food looked so good. I think the best for me was hearing Anthony (Ant) say “champion”. Such a Geordie….. took me right back to my Uncle Jim and Auntie Margaret who were from Ashington

[@TheLastHomelyGarden-xw7tw]

he's a good friend! Champion! ha ha! xxx

[@jwhitty8172]

Living large! What a great way to spend an afternoon.

[@robynclarke5274]

I think growing potatoes is one of gardners great pleasures in life. I also love watching other gardners growing beautiful vegetables like yours. I love baking my beetroot the same way, then once cooked and cooled a little I cut into wedges, olive oil & pepper then put them in a flat bread with rocked, walnuts and goats cheese (or nutritional yeast for vegans). Watching your videos gives me impetuous I need to get back into the garden despite the summer heat. I love your outdoor kitchen.

[@TheArmashka]

Kate, you are an amazing woman! How lucky are all these other people close to you! The new brick cooker looks nice and I can taste the delicious food prepared in it.

[@lifeofjoy9404]

Somehow all of the videos i've watched today are of you preparing delucious food, and now I'm so hungry!😅

Dear Kate and your Team, love to see your ideas and projects. Have a great time 🤗
