YOUR NEXT MISSION: NICE AND TOASTY It’s one of the trendiest foods around, so this week we propose a toast to ... toast! Your mission is to turn up the heat and show us your most favourite toasted foods of any kind. Do you like browned bread with butter or do you top your toast with something less traditional? From toasted nori and sesame seeds to bagels, bruschetta and BLTs to English muffins and marshmallows, your mission is complete as long as it’s toasted.

To make their “brunch-worthy bruschetta,” Gastroposters Adrian & Jeremy Inglett toast authentic sourdough from Cob’s Bread with melted Farm House Natural Cheese brie, Chef Bruno Feldeisen’s pickled white strawberries, fresh strawberries, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, honey, lemon and balsamic vinegar. We’d say this toasted feast is brunch-worthy and then some, guys! Fiona Wong @fionabyw Dumplings in spicy chili sauce

Norris Wong @imnorris Kung Hei Fat Choy!

Willa Tam @frvanilla12 Pan-fried fish that we don’t eat. It means you have fish for next year
