It’s more of an ideas book than a recipe book, although the recipes are included. As soon as I opened it, I was delighted by this: Whether you use white, French, or sourdough, it’ll make perfect, sweet, and buttery French toast. And it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare!You can get creative with French toast and peanut butter, too!
