Amazing. Every one of Kristan's recipes are a home run! And the photography and layout of the book are so beautiful. Highly recommend for anyone looking to create some light and tasty appetizers, either for a party or just for your own enjoyment. Also makes a great coffee table/conversation piece.-Dan K.

Absolutely love this book! So much inspiration for having fun in your kitchen. Toast could be boring/ the same every day, OR you could have fun with it! The photos are beautiful and the recipes are well-written. I highly recommend this as an addition to your cookbook collection- or even a book to set on your coffee table! -Kessha

I am a bread addict. I love bread in about any shape or form, so what better than a cookbook devoted to great new ways to top good bread?! “On Toast” is brimming with delectable ideas for tartines, crostini and open-faced sandwiches. The book opens with an introduction, Types of Bread, Pantry and Toasting Techniques before moving into the recipes which are divided into season beginning with Winter. Now I had never heard of cookie butter until I read this cookbook. It includes a recipe for Apples and Cookie Butter. It sounds delightful, but I definitely don’t need new ways to add calories to my diet! Fresh Ricotta and Olive Oil is so good. The recipe calls for spelt sourdough bread, but don’t let that limit you! Spicy Chorizo and Scrambled Egg on sourdough or wheat bread makes a nice change for breakfast. Roasted Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese—oh my!! That is a lovely morsel just bursting with flavor! -SandaraKitchen
