COVID-19 on Toast

By Jacqueline & Nabila

Whether the world's dish best served cold, or a new a la carte menu, COVID-19 is killing the appetite - and mojo - of a lot of millennials. While there's no sugar coating the reality of what's happening right now, and that we have absolutely no room for dessert, there is one thing that won't change: brunch. Whether you're a smashed avocado, poached eggs on toast or croissant type of person, why not add a little flavour and join your hosts Jacqueline (@jacquelinecripps) and Nabila (@noble.bones) for some isolation inspiration.
