Bliss on Toast: 75 Simple Recipes

Product Information

Can’t believe that a modest idea I had about a monthly recipe in the Oldie, consisting of delicious stuff on toast for Sunday night suppers, has turned into a really lovely little book. Whether you use white, French, or sourdough, it’ll make perfect, sweet, and buttery French toast. And it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare! Prue Leith’s career has included her own restaurants, catering and cookery school businesses; she’s been a board director of companies such as British Rail, Halifax, Safeway, Whitbread, Woolworths, and Belmond (ex-Orient Express) Hotels. My original idea was for a little book the size of a square of toast, with pictures taken in my kitchen on an i-phone, and with the written recipe consisting only of a caption, like Welsh rarebit with crisp bacon on granary, or Figs, blue cheese, thyme & honey on bloomer , or Roast lamb with gremolata on fried ciabatta. But my publishers ( Bloomsbury) said, No, no, we need a professional photographer for the pics, and proper recipes because people may like to make their own gremolata or flat bread. Fun and simple for the home cook, while still maintaining the desired wow factor for breakfast, lunch and dinner."-- LA Weekly

Prue is probably best known as a judge on the Great British Bake Off and judge of the American equivalent Of Bake Off. She has also been a judge on The Great British Menu and My Kitchen Rules. This year Prue has also embarked on a One Woman Show around the UK called ‘Nothing in Moderation.’ The author is all for using good quality ready-made items but does provide some staple recipes in the last section of the book if you're one who is adverse to store-bought ready-made products. I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 because in several recipes, the vegan version instructions were use vegan versions of mayo, butter, cheese or whatever processed vegan product was needed to veganize the dish. This is perfect if you want an especially sweet morning, and believe it or not; you can make your own with a blender, some white sugar, and cornstarch. I love toast. So much so, when my son goes away, he always cautions me to eat more than toast for dinner. He knows me too well. It’s not just the toast I love, but it’s stuff on toast too, the sort of food you load onto toast that does it for me as well. This little book is the sort of cookbook I love. It’s more of an ideas book than a recipe book, although the recipes are included. As soon as I opened it, I was delighted by this:
