Bliss on Toast: 75 Simple Recipes

Product Information

There’s a reason why syrup is the most popular topping for French toast: it’s simply too good to resist! 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. Of course, when you’re in a rush, raw bananas are the perfect nutritious treat to add to your French toast. Mushrooms on toast…another win for the nostalgia as well as the taste. This recipe is close to what I already make but with a dash of flash that I am keen to incorporate. And if you really want to indulge, try this insane Dalgona coffee recipe. You’ll be amazed at just how easy it is!

First of all they magically become homely, comforting, easy, as soon as they are on toast. And toast means you needn’t worry about more carbs: no potatoes, rice, pasta, cous-cous needed. The Great British Bake Off - Get Baking for Friends and Family: With Recipes by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith and the Bake Off TeamNot all of the recipes in this book appeal, I’m not going to lie, fish on toast is not for me. But many of the recipes do look and sound great, and they also use pantry and fridge ingredients that most of us, perhaps those of us who cook a lot, that is, will have on hand. Prue has had a deep involvement with education and the arts: she chaired the first of the companies charged with turning round failing state schools and was Chair of the School Food Trust, responsible for the improvement of school food and food education. She started and led the campaign for contemporary sculpture to be exhibited on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. She has been active in many charities and is the Chancellor of Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh. She was an advisor for the Government’s Hospital Food Review. French toast and bacon is a satisfying breakfast that no family member can resist – including the dog! 2. Syrup 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 might take a bit more time than other options on this list, but it’s definitely worth waking up earlier for! 11. Granola

While a refreshing glass of orange juice is always yummy, you have to try this Orange Julius recipe if you want to spoil the kids. She has published eight novels, a memoir, I’ll Do Anything Once (formerly, Relish) and 14 cookbooks. Her latest cookbook, Bliss on Toast, was published by Bloomsbury in 2022.What's more comforting and satisfying than toast? And if you top it with a few cleverly paired ingredients, it can be a full meal, not to mention pure bliss. Granola will give any breakfast an extra satisfying crunch. You’ll also get lots of fiber and Vitamin E from the seeds and nuts! 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. You can get creative with French toast and peanut butter, too! For example, turn it into a sandwich with some sliced bananas, or make a peanut butter frosting as a syrup substitute. You’ll have the classic ingredients of ham or bacon, poached egg, cheese, and hollandaise sauce. And the base? French toast!

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 truth is I love anything on toast. Scrambles (of course), bangers, beans, even tinned sardines. But the more I thought about it the more I realised that anything that tastes good on a plate – coq au vin, curry, steak, baked aubergines, smoked salmon and avocado, all taste even better on toast.

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! The author is a renowned British cooking person and the book resulted from a year-long column she did that, if I understood correctly, was solely the name of the "toast" with a photo and readers were left to themselves to recreate using just the title and picture. For this book, along with the titles and lovely photos, there are written, easy to follow instructions. I loved that recipe/photo ratio was 100%, every "toast" was shown. A berry mix is always a tasty treat, especially with a little bit of whipped cream. And strawberries and chocolate syrup will make for a mouthwatering meal, too!

Go for classic maple syrup, or try buttermilk or chocolate for a fun twist.There are so many yummy syrup recipes out there, so feel free to explore! To make it, you’ll want to bake your French toast in the oven. This gives it a more solid and less moist texture, but with the same delicious taste!
