Adventures in Sandwichland

By JC Mitchell

During the course of a working day the lunch break is a cherished time. Not only does it divide the day into two shorter, more psychologically acceptable segments, but it allows one to take a break from one's workday routine while munching on something that's hopefully tasty. This collection of recipes demonstrates how to look forward to lunch while saving money. It starts off with a history of the sandwich and then presents a list of kitchen ingredients essential for creating exciting sandwich combinations. Included are recipes for sandwiches featuring cheese, other vegetarian and vegan items, fish and seafood, and meat, as well as a few hot wrap choices.
