5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book with a hidden twist. August 16, 2012

By D. Farrow

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

So far, every single item I made from this book has been truly outstanding; from the "Cheese" for the Pesto Pizza, to the Chickpea Shwarma, and not to forget the Quinua Protein Wrap.
All had great bold flavor, a must in my book, and were relatively easy to make. Directions are clear and helpful.

So what is this twist I mention on the title?
Well, we are trying to keep the bread / wheat consumption to a minimum, and so most of the recipes I've made have been served on a bed of greens!
Sort of like an open face sandwich version I guess. Still delightful to eat, for sure.

One other note, is that I have taken the authors suggestions to replace tofu for the seitan (wheat meat) and again, this has worked out rather well.

On bread, in a wrap, on a bed of greens - however you serve these dishes up, they are a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sandwiches for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert! July 31, 2012

By Joni

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Amazing recipes for amazing sandwiches. I fancy myself a bit of a sandwich snob, and this book has impressed me from page one. Smartly laid out in a fun format, this book has tips, tricks, and of course amazing photos of delicious sandwiches.

My favorites so far:
Berry Stuffed French Toast Pockets (page 34) because the crispy, crusty french toast recipe is great on it's own, but the berry filling makes a great surprise. These also work great on the go as a handheld. Super yum.
Orange Fennel Summer Rolls (page 83) because they are so easy, fast, and refreshing on hot days. NO COOKING REQUIRED! Plus they are so pretty, and make a great appetizer as well.
The Party Monster (page 124) because it is delicious green bread stuffed with delicious home made deli slices and other savory goodness. It's a bit time consuming, but oh-so-worth it.
Oreo Wafflewiches (page 173) because, even though it's meant as a dessert, this one screams breakfast (to me) and tastes like a giant Oreo cookie! Whoa.

Another fabulous feature of this book is Chapter 8: The Building Blocks, which is has recipes that can be used throughout the rest of the book, or on their own. Recipes for how to make your own sandwich breads, and deli-style slices to come up with your own sandwich creations.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the simplest to the most refined sandwiches... August 2, 2012

By Moucky

Format:Paperback

In the past, my husband and I used to eat sandwiches mostly when going on hikes, and never thought to make a whole meal out of a sandwich on other occasions. Then while leafing through this cookbook, we discovered amazing sweet and savory combinations to pack into bagels, waffles, cookies, wraps, rice paper, and even lettuce.
For a savory breakfast, we love the Incredible Green Sandwich, but our sweet tooth also loves the Maple Nut Pie Wafflewich, and the Blueberry and Corn Pancake Sandwiches with Lemony Filling.
With fork and knife handy, we're fans of the Welsh Rarebit, with a sauce that's perfect to use on baked potatoes also. The Hot Brown Sandwiches that use broccolini, tofu, and an amazing sauce were fantastic too.
For sandwiches that require just a little make-ahead prep, we love the Almo-Cado, with grated beet paired up with almond butter. We also love the Cajun Lettuce Wraps, with their brightly-colored filling and exotic seasoning.
As far as the classics go, we're big fans of the Pâté Sandwiches, where a deliciously rich and earthy vegan pâté is served with a thin slice of pear and sprinkled with black pepper in crusty French baguette.
If we must pick only one dessert, it would have to be the absolutely irresistible Ginger Cream Crępe with Pears.
This book is great for its diversity of creative recipes that are perfect for every season, and last but not least, it's also beautifully designed and illustrated with tempting pictures of the sandwich-y results.
