  1. I love toast in all its varieties and these are some gorgeous samplings…. A toast to you Izy! Can’t wait to see the book ♡

  4. HOT DAMN, GIRL. Congratulations! I’ll be anxiously awaiting it’s arrival in Canada and I can’t wait to dive in. So well deserved for someone with SUCH talent. xx

  5. Oh my gosh congratulations Izy!!!!! That’s so incredibly exciting, and what phenomenal news!!!
    Also, I’m in love with that turquoise patterned plate. Just sayin’ 😉

    • hahah I’m glad someone finds me funny! I think loads of people get sick of the puns but I CAN’T STOP!
      Thanks so much Sneh! (I’m so excited to get my hands on your book!)

  9. That’s amazing, congratulations!! And also, excellent choice of Desperate Housewives photo series, I loved her chubby bratty kids.

  10. WooT!! Three cheers from over here in Canada. Great news, Izzy! You were always the one to watch. I’ll be the first to pre-order.

    Good luck with all the rest of the book. I know a bit about what it feels like. 😉 xox

    • thanks Aimee!!! heheh you’re too kind 🙂
      I’m in the final stages now, so hectic right!? I know your books will be stunning! x

  11. Congratulations on the cookbook!! (I love the photos you used to break the news. 🙂 ) And that almond croissant toast is pretty genius!

    • thanks Allison! haha I thought it would be the best way to do it 🙂
      I keep making that almond croissant toast soo often – my mum got really mad at me cos I ended up stirring almond extract into the jar of nut butter because I was making it so often!!

  12. WOW, congrats! I am a fellow toast lover; bostock was my most recent fling (before that, savory french toast). any preference for toaster model? admittedly my $10 craigslisted, made in china proctor-silex has kept going, but sometimes I daydream of something a bit prettier.

    • thank you!!
      Toast needs it’s own category in the food pyramid, like: dairy, meat, fruit, TOAST.
      Well I’ve always used the one my parents insist on buying – it’s a Dualit toaster and toasts really unevenly BUT basically never breaks!

      • oooh…pardon me for being nosy, but may I ask – which Dualit? they’re so cute! out of fond memories of breakfasts at Ottolenghi when I studied abroad, I’ve been thinking of getting the original, but I heard the newgen model isn’t very reliable. sorry to hear about the uneven toasting, although if it’s any comfort to you, your pictures do not betray a thing.

        • ermmm it’s the silver one… :/
          we had one before and it lasted for 15 years or something insane and finally broke 3 years ago. We replaced it with the same one (I guess it’s a classic model) and it’s been fine so far!

          I’ve learnt how to deal with the uneven toasting (I eat too much toast, I think :/ ) by flipping each slice halfway through 🙂

  13. Dude. This is amazing!!! I’m so happy for you, seriously. It’s weird that we’ve never even been on the same continent, with the level of happiness I feel right now. GO TEAM!

  15. Congrats congrats congrats!!! That’s super exciting! And yes toast is delicious and needs to be enjoyed so many ways, the almond croissant one is my fav!

  16. Because you put almond essence into the cashew nut butter and I made a salad dressing with it!!!!!!!you nutter!
    Love you!

  19. Oooh, congrats Izy!! You deserved it! So young yet SO talented!
    Autumn 2014 will be an hyperventilating season for both of us! 😉

  20. YAY IZY!!! so happy for you! can’t wait ’til your book (yes, read that again: YOUR book) comes out! I think, actually I’m sure, it’ll be great! I couldn’t be more thankful to Sorted Food! they made me found your blog, and I’m so glad I did. Congratulations!

  21. Congratulations on your book! I am always thrilled when I find a positive role model to share with my young daughter, and I think she might love trying some of your toast combinations as I’m just beginning to teach her her way around the kitchen 🙂

  22. such a coincidence that this was a toast post (aha that rhymed)! i just had toast this morning (almond butter with roasted blueberries, ceylon cinnamon, and merlot sea salt) and totally instagrammed it whatttt..!

    One of my favorite “toasts” is on sourdough, with peanut butter and diced jalapeños for a slightly Thai-influenced crunchy deliciousness. Try it!
