THRILLS ’N’ FILLS
He’s famous for his out-of-this-world desserts, but Darren Purchese has a secret passion – toasted sandwiches. Of course, when you’re a master of invention, your melting moments are far from humble. In fact, they’re worthy of their very own book – Chefs E
I LOVE TOAST. There’s nothing better than hot toast with a thick layer of melting butter threatening to run down your arm, or bubbling melted cheese on a slice of your favourite bread.
I feel I was destined to write this book, as toast, cheese on toast and toasties are my thing. If pastry and chocolate are my profession and passion, then toasties are my hobby and obsession. Over the years, I have honed my cheese on toast to be the best it can be – but I’m not finished experimenting. Whether savoury or sweet, with or without cheese, my toasties are made with the same care as one of my elaborate sweet creations.
Hopefully this book will open your eyes a little wider to the myriad possibilities for the humble toastie.
