Sandwiches of the World

Sandwiches of the World

Battman

Since the 4th Earl of Sandwich first (allegedly) summoned a slice of meat between two slices of bread to his gambling table to avoid disrupting the game, sandwiches have become a mainstay of everyday eating. But they can also be an art form. In this beautiful volume, the photographer Battman captures the inventive sandwich creations of one hundred of America's top restaurant chefs.

Max’s Sandwich Book

Max Halley and Ben Benton

After working in some of the country's best restaurants, in 2014 Max Halley decided to open Max’s Sandwich Shop in the distinctly unflashy North London neighbourhood of Stroud Green and reinvent the sandwich forever. It may have seemed like an odd career-shift, but Max’s are sandwiches like no other. The website makes the justified boast that “Max's Sandwich Shop changed the sandwich.” Read the book to find out how!
Perfect Panini

Perfect Panini

Jodi Liano

It turns out a big part of panini success is the perfect ration of bread to filling, a sufficiently melting cheese and a good old smash for the prettiest grill marks. BLT, Reuben, Crab Melt, Meatball, Grilled Eggplant and Tapenade, Shrimp Po’Boy, and Muffuletta (a deli meat-stuffed wedge) all await. Strive for panini perfection with this handy guide!

"I have seen these nachos devoured more times than I’ve seen the Lakers win a basketball game. They not only look colorful and beautiful but are a healthy and delicious party snack the whole crowd will enjoy. I love the mix of crunchy jicama and corn chips and the gooey cheese sauce with a hint of sweetness and spice." Abbie Cornish
