just about ANYTHING on toast is delicious but some of these concoctions are exactly what I need for those days when I don't want the same old turkey sandwich or grilled cheese. With 82 years’ experience of good eating and 60 years of cooking, writing about and judging food, there is no one who better knows what makes a meal bliss than Prue Leith. And because even fanatical cooks like me get sick of cooking sometimes, beans on toast seems a great option, or just making toast toppings out of what’s in the fridge. 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. If parents are packing up their kids to take them for university pop a copy of Bliss on Toast in their bag and you won't go wrong.

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. And when you top it with a few cleverly paired ingredients, it becomes a full meal―not to mention pure bliss. The head notes to each recipe are delivered in Leith's cheery and charming voice, tips regarding ingredient substitutions are included, and a bevy of excellent color photographs provide a preview of what to expect.Very British-centric ingredient wise but also many recipes I look forward to trying, as well Leith gave me and other fledgling cooks permission to experiment using left-overs and pantry items--always a useful skill.

If you enjoy ruining perfectly delicious breads with terrible toppings, go crazy, but I am out of here! I don't know why Dagwood became synonymous with "sandwich", seems like a better definition would be "one who loves sandwiches". With 82 years’ experience of good eating and 60 years of cooking, writing about and judging food, there is no-one who better knows what makes a meal bliss than Dame Prue Leith. A wonderful collection of recipes to suit the every day kitchen, embracing seasonality, flavours, and drawing on the depth of knowledge that the great Prue Leith has. I adore blackberries, it’s a combination of taste and nostalgia, childhood days of blackberry picking and then eating the homemade jam straight from the jar.

There is now a little ‘Bliss on Toast’ mini series on my instagram so take a look and see what is happening this week. 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.
