There's no denying that a slice of thick fresh bread, warm from the grill is the ultimate in comfort food. But toast can also be turned into an array of mouth-watering snacks, nutritious meals and indulgent treats for any time of the day.

Things on Toast contains over 60 delicious recipes for what to put on your toast, from a breakfast feast of soft boiled eggs with chilli flakes, thyme and chorizo, to a substantial supper of griddled steaks with rocket, anchovy butter and roasted peppers on olive bread or chicken livers, sage and pancetta on toasted brioche; you can also indulge your sweet tooth with recipes such as raisin toast with lime ricotta, mango and honey. In addition, the cookbook offers thrifty ways of using up stale bread and quick-fix spreading ideas such as flavoured butters, pâtés and home-made chocolate spread.

This is the perfect recipe book for lovers of this time-honoured favourite food and those wanting to whip up a nourishing meal in moments.
