Bread & butter
A love letter to the humble loaf
From the first slice to the last crumb, make something lovely.
A loaf is an invitation. Thick toast at breakfast, a generous sandwich at lunch, a torn piece alongside soup at supper.
Let the bread lead
Try a slice with butter and a little honey, or tomatoes and olive oil. Keep the toppings simple enough to enjoy the texture of the crumb.
Love the last slice
Day-old bread has possibilities of its own. Cut it into cubes for croutons, blitz it into breadcrumbs, or make a comforting bread pudding. The last slice deserves as much attention as the first.
