Sandwiches of History: The Cookbook: All the Best (and Most Surprising) Things People Have Put Between Slices of Bread

"On social media, Barry W. Enderwick, aka @sandwichesofhistory, makes sandwiches from all sorts of historical sources, to mixed results. In this cookbook, he’s given us a range of 50+ recipes from the classic (Croque Monsieur) to the unexpected (Pineapple Cucumber). Each recipe includes the cookbook and year it came from (Beverages and Sandwiches for Your Husband’s Friends, 1893, is a particularly delightful example), as well as some light historical context. Sometimes he offers us his signature “Plus Ups” – ways to make an OK sandwich great (often adding heat, spice, texture or contrast). The book is chatty and accessible, offering coaching and encouragement the way you would to a friend. To borrow a phrase from him, I recommend you give this cookbook … a go."
