About the book

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. These 75 recipes for things on toast will help you make quick, delicious and versatile meals year round — for working from home lunches and cosy Sunday suppers to light bites, indulgent treats or impressive canapés. Recipes include avocado, summer tomatoes and tapenade rocket on olive bread, bubble and squeak with hollandaise on fried bread, falafel, edamame and red pepper hummus on flatbread, grilled chicken tikka with yoghurt on naan and smoked salmon, wasabi and avocado on granary bread.

Bliss on Toast is as much a toolkit for quick fridge-raids as it is inspiration for seasonal delights. 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.
