5.0 out of 5 stars Raises Sandwich-Making to a Fine Art, April 6, 2001

By	Melanie Wilson "vegetarianbabydotcom" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book raises sandwich-making to a fine art and proves that there is more to life than peanut butter and jelly for vegetarians. Surprisingly, the gourmet flavor of the recipes is attributable to the use of unique ingredients and combinations rather than to complex preparation. Each page of recipes is generously packed with tips and tidbits of information about the ingredients. Included in the book are chapters on Sandwich Basics (one of my favorites with recipes for Black Olive and Caper Spread and Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce); Appetizer, Snack, and Accompaniment Sandwiches; Cold Sandwiches; Warm Sandwiches; Stuffed, Rolled, and Wrapped Sandwiches; Sandwich Accompaniments (salads and such); and Dessert Sandwiches. Though you may not use most of these recipes for your child's lunchbox, they are fun and delicious enough for the whole family. Kids will love Savory Nut Patties on Sesame Buns, Black Bean Quesadillas, and Italian Toasted Cheese Sandwiches. This cookbook is mostly ovo-lacto, but I've found making vegan substitutions quite easy.

4.0 out of 5 stars YUMMY!, August 9, 2000

By	Robin Cornelison (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

This book is great. I read about it in a health magazine that featured one of its sandwiches and I had to get the book. I was not disappointed. As a vegetarian it is sometimes hard to think of new ideas for a simple meal...without heading to the vending machine. This book gave me some great ideas and I tried food combinations that I may not have thought to put together, like sweet potatoes and avacado. This book is a great addition to any vegetarian kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Cookbook, February 25, 2001

By	Anthony S. Alpert (Weaverville, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great cookbook. The sandwich ideas are great. I really like the condiment recipes, like lemon vinegrette and sundried tomato pesto. Every sandwich I have made has been much better then expected. Even the really simple recipes seem to turn out excellent. Includes pita, wraps, tortilla, and traditional sandwiches. I highly recommend this book.
