Tip of the day: Bread

Eat bread on its own or use it to dip,  mop up or lift the toppings rather than for spreading onto or sandwiching.

Bagette juliennes work best for this.

This has several advantages including:

You use less bread hence cutting down on gluten and carbs.

You appreciate the flavour of the bread itself.(no need for butter if you select good bread).

You get more intense flavours from the toppings, and

you can try a variety of different toppings in one meal without going overboard on calories.
