This is my favourite French toast recipe of all time, and yet I don’t make it nearly enough. It came into my life some years back when I had a small bit of old-fashioned sandwich loaf that needed using up and, indeed, went on to suggest it in my introduction to the recipe in Cook, Eat, Repeat. But the thing is, it's not very often that an old-fashioned sandwich loaf lasts long enough in my house to need using up. I know it looks a bit like vegemite toast in its picture, but it tastes gloriously rather like rum baba! And though it might sound odd, I like this best of all when it's left to get cold once the syrup’s poured over it, and I can pick it up and eat it by hand as if it were a fine pastry. You don’t need to use the sandwich loaf to make it, but don’t use plastic sliced white is all I ask. And should you wish to add berries, banana or cubes of mango on the side or sprinkle toasted flaked almonds on top, go right ahead! For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

A photo taken by Guy Bourdin for shoe and fashion designer, Charles Jourdan. Celebrated photographer Guy Bourdin’s career spanned nearly 40 years. In the mid-50s, the young Frenchman got his big break after scoring a dream gig with French Vogue. Bourdin was inspired by the vitally important Man Ray, and the revered American Surrealist would become a mentor to the young Bourdin. In fact, when Bourdin held his first gallery show in Paris in 1952, Man Ray himself wrote the introduction for the show’s catalog. A photograph taken by Guy Bourdin inside Man Ray’s studio in Paris. As the 1960s rolled in, Bourdin’s services would be engaged by shoe and fashion designer Charles Jourdan to create ads for his sexy footwear. Bourdin’s photos for Jourdan were wildly unconventional and routinely featured disembodied legs, nudity, and fetish-like imagery. Jourdan would use a vast number of Bourdin’s images for various ad campaigns until the early part of the 80’s—many of which look more like provocative movie stills than ads for shoes. As you might imagine, Bourdin’s work has been compiled into a wide variety of books including Exhibit A (2001), Guy Bourdin: Polaroids (2010),...
