    Great Sandwiches - Katherine Bebo

    The best thing since Slıced Bread

    Food fads come and go. In the 1970s, fondues and quiches were all the rage; people couldn’t get enough kale and quinoa in the 2010s; and anything and everything that could be cooked in an air fryer was the plat du jour in 2023. But the classic sandwich has endured the test of time. Ever since 1762, when John Montagu – the 4th Earl of Sandwich – asked for a serving of roast beef between two slices of bread so he didn’t have to interrupt his card playing to go and eat, the world has been relishing sandwiches with glee.

    Sandwiches come in many forms: paninis, wraps, pittas, tortillas, rolls, baguettes, bagels, subs, butties, hoagies… With seemingly endless combinations of breads, meats, cheeses, vegetables and spreads, there are more possibilities than you can shake a French stick at. This book has narrowed them down to 50 of the most stand-out servings from around the globe.

    The East is East and Go West chapters will take you on a taste-bud-tingling tour of the world – stopping off in Israel to scarf a Sabich and Italy to polish off a Piadina. The selection of Hugs on a Plate are so comforting, as you sink your teeth into them it’ll be like sinking into a warm bubble bath. The Go Big or Go Home recipes are as thrilling as they are filling; the Breakfast Feasts serve up a first-thing flavour frenzy; and the Classics will take you on a tasty trip down memory lane. Healthy happiness is on the menu with Live Life on the Veg, while A Different Kettle of Fish invites you to take the plunge into the world of seafood sarnies. Last but by no means least, Summer Treats will bring sunshine to your life – and your plate.

    Great Sandwiches offers paninis with panache, buns with bounce and flatbreads with flair. True flour power, whichever way you slice it.

    SPREAD THE LOVE

    Yes, you can buy these spreads, mayonnaises, dips and sauces ready-made from the supermarket, but homemade is always best. So flick through the recipes in this book and see which sandwiches you might want to jazz up with a little something extra. Then don your apron and hit the kitchen. Each recipe in this section will make far more than you need for one sandwich, so you could either add your creations to many different sandwiches or branch out and use them in other culinary delights – pasta and pesto, anyone?
