Every Saturday, I have a little recipe published in The Guardian newspaper's 'Weekend' magazine. It'll probably use flour, in one way or another - baked, fried, steamed, poached or toasted. There'll be bread, buns and rolls, cakes, pies and tarts, biscuits, batters and puddings. And once in a while, something else. Baking in the broadest sense of the word.

The editor has asked me to keep to under 250 words, so the recipes will lean towards the quick and easy, but this also means there's little space to explain techniques or give helpful hints. And while every recipe will be tested and re-tested before it goes to print, it's always possible that the meaning may not be clear, or that in the editing, something will be lost.

So if you need advice, or have questions to ask, I'll do my best to help. You'll find the recipes, along with pictures and posts from other bakers, in the 'Guardian recipes' section at www.danlepard.com/forum. If you have the time to browse, you'll find more recipes, pictures and top tips, not just in the forum, but across the danlepard.com website. Or if you just want to say that you're enjoying the recipes, you can always send an email to weekend@guardian.com
