More toast is eaten in this country than any other food, yet it has been shunned by recipe books and ignored by history. "Toast" is here to set the record straight. Funnier than Delia Smith, and with more recipes than "Longitude", "Toast" tells you everything you could possibly want to know about the nation's favourite fast food: learn why the Victorians thought toast-flavoured water was good for your health, marvel at Mrs Beton's "toast sandwich" (a piece of toast between to slices of bread) and get needlessley embroiled in the Great Marmite Debate. With over 30 recipes, "Toast" takes a satirical look at our fondness with the greatest of British fast foods.
