Learning from the Masters
As a culinary school student, we are always being encouraged to improve our palates and taste outside of our comfort zones. We also need to start planning where we want to end up cooking. A fine dining establishment, a steakhouse---choices, choices? My goal in reading this book was two-fold: improve my thoughts on the good old sandwich and keep my eye on a future career in a breakfast+lunch establishment. This book accomplished both goals. The sandwich combinations are original and everyone I tried was tasty. The sauces and desserts were also fresh and not a loser among the five I tried out. The only real issue with the book is so very few photos. I know photos add cost to books and I appreciated the lower cost of this cookbook. But, as someone working on her "presentation" skills, descriptions would have been helpful if choosing to have fewer photos. This book will stay in my GIANT cookbook collection.

Grill me a cheese!
The author really gets it right. The trick to a good sandwich isn't a trick at all. When you have a food that has five ingredients, every one of them needs to be very good, and very fresh. The recipes in the book are simple and delicious. I especially like the trick of making the grilled cheese sandwich, then opening it after it is finished cooking and slipping in a cool slice of tomato. Fantastic!Good pictures, too!

Great sandwich cookbook with unique recipes
This cookbook will stretch your sandwich catalog. It has unique recipes. Gotta warn you, you may not have many of the ingredients just laying around your kitchen. For many people, this cookbook is probably for those special moments unless you're a serious sandwich connoisseur. Overall, if you're willing to put in the work, this book is an excellent choice. I love it!

Yummy Breakfast, Lunch, Brunch, and Snack Ideas
The ideas contained in this book are innovative, easy, and fast to prepare. But the most important thing about them is that they taste terrific! I also find that reading through this book gives me ideas of how to combine leftovers that I may have with "staples" recommended in this book to form even more outstanding creations. For those on a diet, if you use a nice crusty piece of bread, you can cut the slides super thin, toast them, and feast right along with everyone else. The sky is the limit on possible creations. Enjoy!

Great Starting Place
I use this as a starting place. Sometimes I simplify the recipes; other times I build on th recipes. It’s a great idea book when I’m not sure what I want to do.

Not what I was expecting based on description
This book was described as having some fundamentals and I wanted to know things like when to toast bread, when to gut a baguette so you don't get so much bread, etc.It did not have this info.Also there was not a single sandwich that looked particularly appealing.The book design is beautifully laid out and the photos are good but that's not enough for it to earn space in our tiny apt.I thought so little of it that I didn't try to resell it. We put it on the building's give-and-take pile by the recycling. Hopefully, someone else can get some good out of it.

Maybe the best sandwiches ever
I bought this book when it came out, and have been much impressed with its creative recipes (is there a dud idea in the book? Perhaps "French Baguette with Butter and Prosciutto does not merit it own recipe, but for the rest?). Her "Braised Leeks, Hard-Cooked Egg, and Anchovies" started our Easter lunch this year (smoked salmon was substituted for the squeamish) and it was absolutely delicious.My sister and husband recently got themselves a wood-burning pizza oven, and I thought that many of these recipes would lend themselves nicely to said. My sister assures me that they do.

No es lo que esperaba
despues de haber leido libros con un gran contenido grafico y una excelente redaccion como Tartine, FWYS, Pizza bible y Mastering Pizza, el libro de Nancy silverton no me sorprendio, las recetas suenan exquisistas no hay duda de eso, pero la redaccion en general no invita al lector a inmiscuirse en la lectura e intentar recrear platillos como son dibujados por palabras.

Say bye to boring sandwich
It's a good book with amazing idea to make different kinds of sandwiches. And suppose good reciepes from bread as a foundation of sandwich to fillings and sauce reciepes as a cement for your sandwich.I tried several reciepes from this book. Its reciepes are divers and you can prepare all of the ingredients from grocceryBut at least you have great resultsYou can bake suggested bread yourself from Nancy's book or buy it from groccery
