Cookbook Review: A Super Upsetting Cookbook About Sandwiches

There are times when all we want to eat is a sandwich. This book allows the reader to fulfill that wish in numerous, delectable ways. Even if the reader doesn't want to make a sandwich right now, this book is a great purchase just to read the recipes and look at the pictures. From the forward to the index, this book is filled with recipes, pictures, words of wisdom and so much more. Chef Kord even encourages the reader to take the sandwich ingredients to make a plate of food.

I am so excited by this book. I have cut back on the amount of bread that I eat, so the mixtures of ingredients suggested helped place me in a creative place and try some myself.

The chef does like to use colorful language at time, but if you can look past that, I would recommend this for everyone.

Cookbook Review: Food With Friends

The first thing that struck me when I received this book was the vibrant colors on the cover of the book. I could not wait to dive in and begin looking. The pictures and the recipes inside the book are just as vibrant and tempting.

Leela Cyd, Author of Food With Friends compiles a bountiful list of recipes that fill the headings that she has given each section. These sections are
Secret Ingredients
Style File
Breakfast and Brunch
Teatime
Happy Hour
Potlucks and Picnics
Desserts
Tiny Takeaways

The first sections tell about any special ingredients that may be needed in the recipes and how to set a table for a get together. Then come the recipes, with pictures. She talks about different toppings for steel-cut oats, such as shredded coconut or seeds. Then Irish soda bread with rum-plumped figs and candied walnuts, yum. She also includes recipes for cookies, canapes, many dishes for potlucks, galettes and so much more. I love this book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys new recipes or who cooks for friends and family.
