  • About

toast as everyone in Britain knows, is made by placing a slice of bread in front of dry heat until the surface browns and gives off an attractive smell from the thermal decomposition of sugar and starch molecules on the surface.

The true addict is fussy about its preparation, choosing day-old baker’s bread, and insisting it is eaten as soon as ready. It is the smell, and the sensations of the hot crunchy outside of the bread combined with the soft inner crumb and melted butter, that make it so appealing.
