A rainy day in the middle of France after a really busy week so it gives me a chance for a quick blog update.

Bake Off Fever!
While this week’s been a bit crazy for me, there are 12 other people it’s been a whole lot crazier for. I can’t wait for the new series of Bake Off to start this Wednesday – on your marks, get set, BAKE!
Gertcha!
Back from Jimmy’s Farm with a well-earned hangover and a very soggy tent after a cracking weekend!
B.I.Y. On Tour
No blog from me last week as I’ve been flat out with work but I’ve got a fun few weeks ahead. Come and catch up with me in person if you get a chance!
Richard Burr, Author
So I’m officially a published author! The first copy of my book, B.I.Y. Bake It Yourself, arrived this week and it looks fantastic.
Strawberry Fields
Just a quick blog post today as I’m up to my elbows in flour at the moment testing out some new recipes.
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!
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.
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.
