Hello and Welcome to the FoodStak Legacy Files

For a few years, my original site, Foodstak, was a mix of content that explored the heart of the home through the eyes (and kitchens) of others. From the organised and well-used freezer to the curated inspiration of a cookbook shelf, these stories built a wonderful community of food lovers around the world.

As I move forward to focus entirely on baking over at the main site, I wanted to ensure these stories didn't just vanish into the digital ether.

What you’ll find here:

Think of this site as a quiet library. A place to browse, reminisce, and find inspiration in the everyday details of a food-filled life. Including the archive of Q&A from some amazing food writers.

Looking for my latest baking recipes and more up-to-date FoodStak news about FoodWriters? If you’re here for the flour and the butter, please head over to the current FoodStak site: 👉 Foodstak.com

Thank you for being part of this journey and for contributing to these archives. 

Happy browsing!

Lynn Hill

Other People's Kitchens. Q&A with Suzy Valtsioti

Q: Hello, Suzy. Can you briefly introduce yourself?  A: My name is Suzy Valtsioti. I'm a writer, an artist and a foodie. I love to grow my own veggies and fruit. I write a substack publication called  Sosanni Valtsioti in the Kitchen Q: How would you describe the layout of your kitchen, its history and how it was designed? A: This is a newly built house, so the kitchen is 2 years old! It is a long kitchen, it’s quite big and very simple. It has a farmhouse feel to it, and the windows look out onto the garden and the patio. It has 2 long counters and a kitchen table in the center. I have 2 armchairs near the patio balcony doors. I used to have them both facing outdoors - but I whimsically turned one around to face the kitchen - so I can keep an eye on everything and watch the TV from the armchair. I get a lot of reading done there! Q: How much role does your kitchen play in your family's life, entertaining, writing, and testing recipes for your newsletter?  ...
