Editorial Reviews

Review

“…an inherently fascinating browse that features tried-and-true recipes, tips and tricks, and fascinating regional and historical trivia about the best snack of all time.” –Midwest Book Review

“Too few people understand a really good sandwich.”—James Beard

“Presented as an encyclopedia with alphabetical entries, it is an easy-to-use guide for ideas and neglected ingredients. A reliable sandwich stop from A to Z”—Library Journal

“The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches, by Susan Russo, is stuffed with fun history and many of the recipes that make sandwiches a favorite handheld food.”—Everyday Food

“A compendium that's worth the bread.”—Thrillist

“The book is compact, and the recipes are tempting and not overly involved. A nice touch is a six-page ingredient index, listing breads, condiments, sauces, meats, cheeses, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts that appear in Russo's recipes. What to do with those pineapple rings in the fridge? There's a recipe that uses them.”—Bill Hogan, Chicago Tribune

“The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches is a fun read that will inspire creativity between sliced bread (or in a bun or pita pocket) and is a great resource to regale your friends with random sandwich facts. […] It will also leave you seriously jonesing for a sandwich.”—Katie Machol, Creative Loafing

About the Author

Author SUSAN RUSSO writes for NPR’s Kitchen Window and posts stories, recipes, and photos on her popular food blog, Food Blogga (which is Rhode Island-ese for “food blogger”). She is the coauthor of Recipes Every Man Should Know (Quirk, 2010). She resides in San Diego. And she is forever indebted to her Italian mother for teaching her how to make a good meatball sub.

Photographer MATT ARMENDARIZ is a man obsessed with food, drink, and everything in between, as evidenced by his food blog, Matt Bites, and his cookbook dedicated to fair food, party food, and all food served On a Stick! He resides in Los Angeles. Let the record show that Matt is a true sandwich champion for trying every single sandwich in this book at least once—and some more times than he’d care to admit.

    Susan Russo is a freelance food writer, cookbook author, recipe developer and the voice behind the nationally recognized blog, Food Blogga. She is a regular contributor to NPR.org and has been featured in many print and online publications including Cooking Light, Edible San Diego, and WineMag.com.

    After a conversation about food with a group of guys at a local speakeasy, she decided it was her destiny to help men cook. Hence, this book which is dedicated to all those hungry fellas out there who think they can’t cook but can.

    Though a native Rhode Islander (Food Blogga is Rhode Islandese for Food Blogger), Susan now lives in sunny San Diego with her husband. Thanks to the years in her Italian grandmother’s and mother’s kitchens, Susan makes a killer meatball sandwich, which is one of over 100 sandwiches in her upcoming cookbook The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches: Recipes, History, and Trivia for Everything Between Sliced Bread (Quirk Books, Spring 2011).

    When she isn’t cooking or eating, Susan is hiking, searching for “Mad Men” dresses, drinking craft beer, or buying purple-colored produce at any of the 40 farmers’ markets in San Diego.
