Avocado Toast has become ubiquitous to most casual dining menus. I was a bit miffed when I posted my own crude Avocado Toast iphone photo over the holiday break. Within mere minutes, my email was flooded with the same queries, "where can I get that recipe?" Honestly, I felt foolish that I had even posted the photo-- joining the myriad other Avocado Toast devotees whose snapshots currently flood everyone's social media feeds. But, nonetheless, I love sharing any food that has become a staple in our kitchen or at our kitchen table. For … [Read more...]
