Television seriesEdit

All of the above series were produced by UTV, and were filmed in a converted barn at Bristow's farm near Cullybackey.[2] Bristow's series have been transmitted in other ITV regions (Border,[7]Central,[6]Grampian,[6]Granada[5][7] and LWT,[6] and on television stations in the United States and Australia.[3]
Ratings for Bristow's series have peaked at 215,000 viewers in Northern Ireland.[15]
Writing careerEdit

Other workEdit
As well as her television and writing work, Bristow takes part in cookery demonstrations and corporate and charitable events.[1] Bristow has taken part in corporate events such as the Balmoral Show[19] and Women on the Move,[20] as well as fundraising events for UNICEF,[21] Macmillan Cancer,[21] the British Heart Foundation[22] and Northern Ireland Hospice Care.[23] Bristow has also been involved in awareness campaigns encouraging people to consume less salt[24] and getting children to practice healthy eating.[25]
