Father’s Day Recipe
Sugar Rush
A great week ending in my daughter’s 6th birthday party. My kids’ birthday cakes are one of the main reasons I got into baking in the first place. This one was particularly sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Al Fresco
This week we’ve made the most of the sunshine and spent nearly all of it outdoors – perfect!
On Yer Bike!
When you get accepted as a contestant on the Great British Bake Off, there’s a very interesting part of the contract. It warns “you will gain weight”! I have to say that with the amount of baking I’ve done over the past 18 months, it’s inevitable that it takes its toll a bit but I’ve got quite an active week ahead to start making up for it.
Oh Vienna! An Austrian Feast…
We are huge Eurovision fans in our house. Usually the evening’s food for the Song Contest draws inspiration from all over Europe but as tonight’s final is coming live from Vienna, it gives us the chance to go full-on Austrian with one of our favourite meals. Here’s the recipe for you to make it too.

One of the best things about being on Bake Off was learning so many different baking techniques: pastries, tarts, éclairs, etc. But without fail, it’s cakes that prove the most popular and that I’m still asked to make most often. I’ve probably got more cake recipes buzzing around my head at any one time than anything else and cakes have kept me busy in the kitchen this past fortnight. So I’m going to share a few of my top tips…
Shakshuka Recipe
Missed out writing my blog last week as I was away on my brother-in-law’s stag do in Poland. Now I’ve recovered, I’m making up for it with a double blog this weekend. A recipe today and my usual blog will follow tomorrow. If you’re stuck for ideas for dinner tonight, I’d really recommend Shakshuka. Easy and delicious…
Ye Olde Baking
I’ve had a great week with some back to basics baking. Full of ideas for baking projects in the week ahead.
Anzac Biscuit Recipe
It’s Anzac Day today so have a go at this easy biscuit recipe. If you can restrain yourself from eating them in one sitting, they keep pretty well. They were historically sent to soldiers on the front line and it’s the Anzac Day centenary this year.
