Egg Scrambliso
Because you didn't think we were lazily going to sling in a plain old scrambled egg on toast recipe, did you!? This delicate dish builds upon the foundations of our established brunch favourite, borrowing from the best of Japanese cuisine, to create a unusual hybrid dish with a distinctly moreish appeal. And guess what!? This meal lays claim to being quite possibly the ultimate hangover remedy! Naturally occuring cysteine in the eggs has been proved to banish headache-causing chemical acetaldehyde, whereas the miso restocks sodium levels lost through dehydration, as well as aiding bodily digestion. In short? If you're feeling the effects of the previous night's sins, whipping up this little recipe should bring you back around.

"I developed a bit of a reputation for unusual concoctions during second year, and this one seemed to go down better than most. It creates a bit of an odd smell, but once you get past that it's a godsend for the morning after the night before!"
