The French Toast: Pecan butter + Maple Syrup + Cinnamon + Maldon
The Macaroon: Coconut butter / almond butter + Honey + Desiccated Coconut
(I do use plates occasionally… :/ )
The ‘That Whole Foods Bread’*: Almond butter + Honey + Cinnamon + Pecans + Dried Cranberries
The Dessert: Nutella + Maldon (or raspberry jam)
The Classic: Peanut butter + Honey + Banana
The Doughnut: Salted Butter + Cinnamon + White Sugar + Grated Nutmeg
The Almond Croissant: Almond butter + Almond Extract + Flaked Almonds + Powdered Sugar
(mix almond butter and extract, spread on toast. Layer on almonds and dust with sugar)
*this is referring to my favourite loaf of bread from Whole Foods that I only rarely buy – sourdough cranberry-pecan bread. Ughhhhh, too good.
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 ♡
thanks so much Angela! Toast is my go-to food ALL THE TIME 🙂 I can’t wait to see it too hah!
So happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!! Cannot WAIT for it to come! 🙂 xo
thank you so much Laura!!!! :)) x
That is some mighty fine looking toast. Congrats on the cookbook. I am super excited to read it.
Thanks Heather!! 🙂 (I’ve been craving the chocolate roll bread you made like CRAZY. It looks immense)
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
heheheh, thank you Kelly!!! <3 I know it's being published in the US so Canada will surely follow 😉
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’ 😉
thank you Rossi!! :))
hah I know it’s my proudest charity-shop-find! It was like 50p or something!!
Look at all that fancy-ass toast. Girl, you rock. Also, COOKBOOK?!?! I waaaaaant it!
heheh fancy toast is the way to LIVE! Thanks so much Katrina 🙂 You rock TOO!
Omg!! Congrats.!!! So excited for you and can’t wait to read the book!!
thanks so much Antonia!!! yaay me too!!!
You always crack me up! And Cookbook!! W00t W00t!! I can’t wait to find out more 🙂
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!)
That’s amazing, congratulations!! And also, excellent choice of Desperate Housewives photo series, I loved her chubby bratty kids.
thanks Katie!! haha yes, I knew I HAD to use it as soon as I saw that photoset 😉
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
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!!
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 🙂
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!
I’M STILL SHAKING FROM THIS!!
Thanks so much Sarah! you da best :)))) (I really wanna yell WILDCATS now)
