Ingredients: sourdough bread; broccolini; eggs; roasted red peppers; sundried tomatoes in oil; sliced almonds I do one a month for the Oldie and in four and a bit years (if I’m still alive!) we’ll have a year’s worth and we could bring out a mini cookbook of the collected Bliss on Toasts.

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. Of course, when you’re in a rush, raw bananas are the perfect nutritious treat to add to your French toast.

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. 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. I have always been a fan of toast and its toppings. As a child I'd toast bread or an English muffin, top it with tomato slices and cheddar cheese, and pop it under the broiler. Now I crave good bread toasted and topped with all sorts of wonderful toppings. My comfort food is toasted raisin bread topped with peanut butter and a drizzle of honey, or marmalade and Swiss cheese. Ingredients: romaine lettuce; sea scallops; crusty white bread; watercress; canned anchovy fillets; egg yolks; Parmesan cheese

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:
