3/14
Introduction
When people ask me what my favorite food is, theyre either amused or disappointed that my answer is
sandwiches.
As much as I wish I could say its something exotic like sweetbreads (calfs pancreas or thymus) orbalut(fertilized
duck egg), I cant. Theres just nothing as versatile, fulfilling, and flat-out fun as a sandwich. You can have it for
breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can prepare it as a savory or sweet dish. Meat lovers can stack piles of roast beef
between two slices of golden-toasted bread, while vegetarians can choose a thick slab of portobello mushroom.
Best of all, you dont need years of culinary experience to know how to make the perfect sandwich.
And so, Ive compiled 10 of my favorite sandwich recipes into one book. Theyre all easy to prepare and can be
cooked in less than half an hour. Although this collection is a small one, theres a sandwich for every craving, everydiet and for every meal of the day.
Start off with the Hawaiian Breakfast Sandwich, which has musubi-glazed Spam topped with a fried egg, and
polish off a dessert of Banana, Marshmallow & Nutella Sandwich, my campfire-inspired treat cooked in brown
sugar butter. In between, check out my Bulgogi Cheesesteak, a Korean twist on an American classic; my 100-
calorie Grilled Vegetable & Hummus Pita; and six more tasty, unique sandwiches.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I loved creating them.
Have fun and eat lots!
