[@JillColonna]

Thanks Solli. Laurent was so generous in sharing his recipe - yes, it was great fun! Bisous x

For something so simple, it's so good! No wonder it has been a delicious relationship in a pan since the Romans...Thanks Carol x

J'adooooore les French toasts!! Bravo Jill for this very educational and tasty video - also for showing us the hard work of a local artisan boulanger! 🥰

[@JillColonna]

So thrilled you liked this, Thomas - yes, Laurent works so hard and so it was such a treat to be on the premises in between baguettes and cakes!

[@genimermoud3085]

Thank you Jill and Laurent. I made this recipe this weekend and it was delish! The toast browned up nicely and was just like you said - crispy outside and tender inside (without being gooey). There is a perfect balance of egg and sugar to make really good French Toast.

[@JillColonna]

Thanks so much for this feedback, Geni. So happy you liked this - must forward to Laurent. I'll add this to the reviews on the recipe if you don't mind.

Hi Ms. Jill, Hope you're well! Any new recipe videos coming soon?

[@JillColonna]

Hi Juan, I am currently back on it - and working on a video just now. It just takes so long to do it on my own - so thanks for the motivation! Coming very soon x

[@jacobhill3302]

Imagine the first dude (or dudette) to think of doing this. What a genius

[@JillColonna]

Agreed! So simple but genius - a bit like the person who thought up the song for Happy Birthday. Imagine the royalties!?

[@SikandersDesiVlogs]

True, but the same goes with almost every dish! I often think of this, how they used spices ir herbs for the first time. Food overall is a huge human inheritance

[@raggersragnarsson6255]

Please can you use metric measurements for most of the world that's isn't stuck in imperial cups, etc, nonsense. Thanks.

[@JillColonna]

I use metric measurements in all my recipes and it's also here - how did you miss it? I only add the imperial, as so many people complain I don't use it enough! Cannie win, apparently.
