Gourmet toast

Seriously, is there anything better than toast? It opens up a world of 5-minute breakfasts, lunches and dinners. And it's the perfect medium for all my favourite ingredients.
Avocado and feta toast with lime, sumac, and toasted sesame seeds

Avocado and feta toast with lime, sumac, and toasted sesame seeds

Anyone who knows me will tell you I am an absolute toast fiend. So when I tell you this toast is my favourite of all time, you know it means something! The classic combination of avocado and feta is already amazing on its own, but add in the tang of sumac and the acidity of lime juice and you have something pretty special. More

Roast pumpkin and red onion with white bean and feta toast

Roast pumpkin and red onion with white bean and feta toast

Pumpkin and red onion are a match made in heaven. Add in white beans, feta, rocket, and balsamic and you've got a classic savoury combination that just never gets old. The greatest thing about this meal is the lack of knifework. Baking whole pumpkin slices with the skin on and halving the onions rather than dicing them makes this meal about as hassle-free as it gets. More

White bean and za'atar soup with toasted sesame seeds

White bean and za'atar soup with toasted sesame seeds

This easy, hearty soup is a perfect winter warmer. I love the za'atar flavours of sumac, thyme, and sesame seeds, and cannelini beans are the perfect blank canvas to serve them with. And really, who doesn't love anything involving Turkish bread? More

Barbecued heirloom tomato bruschetta with feta and basil

Barbecued heirloom tomato bruschetta with feta and basil

I've loved bruschetta since I was a kid. Tomatoes, basil, balsamic, feta... what more could you want. I love how versatile it is, too. You can't beat barbecued tomatoes, but in a pinch you can easily just spread feta on toast, add a few slices of fresh tomato and torn basil leaves, drizzle with vinegar, and there you have it. Big, bold flavour heaven. More

Toast with grilled zucchini, feta and lentils

Toast with grilled zucchini, feta and lentils

Among the many reasons I love zucchini is how easy it is to slice it thin, stick it in the microwave for a moment, add some lemon juice and stick it on toast with feta. Lentils are an earthy addition that take your toast from simple snack to makeshift meal. More

Toast with eggs, butter, cheese, mayo and greens

Toast with eggs, butter, cheese, mayo and greens

I desperately wanted avo and feta with eggs, but with no avo to speak of, I was forced to get creative. That's how this recipe was born: The guiltiest, most animal-derived-product-overloaded toast I've ever made. More
