What food could be more simple or more universal than toast? Tossing two slices of bread in the toaster is a morning rite-of-passage that we all remember from our childhood. But there's much more to toast than that. It's the perfect foundation for so many foods - dips, pate, meats, seafood, and cheese. In this fun, creative cookbook, over 60 marvellous recipes take toasted bread and turn it into a base for innovative meals, from appetizers, snacks, and sandwiches to main courses, salads, and desserts. Each recipe suggests a variety of appropriate breads to use and also includes tips for simple variations. Award-winning photographer Deborah Jones provides stunningly beautiful color photos of the recipes. Sidebars discuss the health benefits of toast, grilled bread over an open-fire, and fun ideas for kids. This book is not about making bread. It's about taking something ordinary and turning it into something fabulous and new.
