Beautiful Breads and Fabulous Fillings: The Best Sandwiches in America Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)American Cuisine at it's Best

I originally decided to buy this cookbook because of the Oprah sandwich and all that I heard about it.And then the other day I also saw another recipe from this book in the Washington Post. Oprah AND WA PO - pretty high recommendations in my opinion.Well, I did the O sandwich recipe and my family loved it - I mean loved it. Even my daughter who doesn't usually like chicken thought it was "awesome!".

What I love about about Beautiful Breads /Fabulous Fillings is that everything I've made so far is easy, unique, and most importantly, delicious.And those I haven't yet tried also appear to be just as easy and tasty. (Also you don't have to go to Chinatown looking for some herb or ingredient you've never heard of. You should have most ingredients already stocked in your kitchen.)

I was also delightfully surprised to find that there were a variety of recipes in BB and FF, not just sandwiches.In fact I made the Lamb dish (Lamb with Real Mint Sauce) last night - we had friends for dinner and it was a hit - everyone raved about it. I thought her brief food facts and and tips at the end of many of the recipes were fun, interesting, and useful.

By the way, the desserts are also noteworthy.I made the Lemon Meringue Pie.If you're having guests this pie is refreshing, light, and mouthwatering.It not only tastes fabulous, it also looks impressive!

I think this cookbook should be a staple in every American kitchen. It's American Cuisine at it's best.

BTW - The only criticism I have of this book is that the title is so long!Beautiful Breads and Fabulous Fillings: The Best sandwiches In America...so now I just call it BB and FF, and my pals know what I mean.

(I did read B. Marold's review which I thought was bogus. Marold obviously didn't actually "make" or even try any of the recipes and had this scholarly snobby POV which has nothing to do with passion for food and eating well. Reviewing really should involve actually making and tasting the recipes in my opinion - but I actually USE cookbooks, I don't just read them.)

Roadfood Sandwiches: Recipes and Lore from Our Favorite Shops Coast to Coast Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a fan of Jane and Michael Stern for 20+ years. I read all their articles in Gourmet up until Gourmet became nothing but a shill for the advertisers. "Roadfood Sandwiches" is nothing but a re-hash (no pun intended) of their last edition of "Roadfood". The new info in "...Sandwiches" is minimal at best. I suggest you skip "...Sandwiches" and instead buy "Roadfood". It contains the bulk of "...Sandwiches" and much more. They really skated on this one.

Panini Express: 70 Delicious Recipes Hot Off the Press Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received a panini press for a present and couldn't wait to get this book to try it out.The book is very pretty with nice, in-color photographs.I think the food photographer, Ellen Silverman, did a wonderful job of capturing the feel of the sandwiches, spreads and such.However, the editor fell down on the job.The same picture is printed on pages 19 and 61 and another same picture is printed on pages a and 23. Yet another same picture is printed on pages b & 57; 2 & 17; and 24 & 93.The exact same picture! Are you kidding me? Someone didn't notice they were using all the same pictures?!They're very pretty pictures but all the same ones?I quit comparing but there are many other duplicates as well. Please get that fixed on the reprint of this book. The authors of this cookbook need to get an apology for that glaring mistake.

Now for the meat of the cookbook.The first section gives recipes for making your own rolls, baguettes, flatbreads and such if you are so inclined.They are made by hand, not using a bread machine to start the dough. If you know how I guess you could convert them to a bread machine to save yourself some effort.

There is a section on making your own sauces, compotes, etc. The red pepper-garlic mayonnaise is delicious. Make sure and drain the roasted red peppers well otherwise the mayo was too runny.The watercress mayonnaise was a little bitter but perhaps it's just my taste or the fresh watercress (it's not the season right now).

The section on making your own sandwiches gives instructions for making your own breads and compotes (recipes are included) or offers store bought alternatives.In addition I like that the authentic version of the italian panini is listed but then a cheaper american version alternative is also offered.It gives you the option so you can lower the price or find the needed ingredients.My example is comte cheese vs. swiss; prosciutto vs. ham.

The corned beef and cabbage panini is excellent.It will make an excellent dinner on St. Patrick's Day. Add some black and tan beer and the evening will be perfect.

My next tries will be the Cubano and the Italian Hero.You won't be disappointed in this cookbook.It's worth having.There are even dessert panini's but I haven't tried those yet...it gives me something to look forward to!

I rated it a 3 even with the glaring picture misprints because the cookbook itself is excellent and I wouldn't want others to not purchase it because of that.The Taunton Press Co. needs to hire some new employees who know what they're doing but otherwise this cookbook is worthy of purchase.Just don't give this version as a gift wait until the next edition.
