'There's an art to making good toast and Prue Leith knows it' — Yotam Ottolenghi

What’s more comforting and satisfying than toast? And topped 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 & tapenade rocket on olive bread

Bubble & squeak with hollandaise on fried bread

Falafel, edamame & red pepper hummus on flatbread

Grilled chicken tikka with yoghurt on naan

Smoked salmon, wasabi & 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.
