Delicious

This is a great little book - full of commonsense ideas for vegetarian fillings and delicious different fillings as well. I really like it and am glad I bought it.

Great!

I had been looking for a book like this for awhile since on the weekends I like to throw together something for lunch but had been running out of ideas. This book got me going again. I love it! Everything I've tried has been great - vegetarians and non have liked everything I've made so far. There are some great spreads in here like the basil pesto, the hummus, the herb butter, the mushroom with almond spread, etc. These can be slathered on the bread and then just add veggies to that or you can do some of the full sandwiches like the Sweet Potato and Avocado sandwich, the grilled eggplant with olive/tomato spread sandwich, the dilled egg salad sandwich, veggie melts etc. Thumbs up on this one!

Not One Bad Recipe

In any cookbook, even the good ones, you can usually expect a few mediocre or outright terrible recipes. Not so with "Vegetarian Sandwiches." Every recipe I've tried is excellent. And best of all, the recipes are easy, quick and the ingredients are easy to find. Delicious!

Raises Sandwich-Making to a Fine Art

This book raises sandwich-making to a fine art and proves that there is more to life than peanut butter and jelly for vegetarians. Surprisingly, the gourmet flavor of the recipes is attributable to the use of unique ingredients and combinations rather than to complex preparation. Each page of recipes is generously packed with tips and tidbits of information about the ingredients. Included in the book are chapters on Sandwich Basics (one of my favorites with recipes for Black Olive and Caper Spread and Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce); Appetizer, Snack, and Accompaniment Sandwiches; Cold Sandwiches; Warm Sandwiches; Stuffed, Rolled, and Wrapped Sandwiches; Sandwich Accompaniments (salads and such); and Dessert Sandwiches. Though you may not use most of these recipes for your child's lunchbox, they are fun and delicious enough for the whole family. Kids will love Savory Nut Patties on Sesame Buns, Black Bean Quesadillas, and Italian Toasted Cheese Sandwiches. This cookbook is mostly ovo-lacto, but I've found making vegan substitutions quite easy.

Excellent Cookbook

This is a great cookbook. The sandwich ideas are great. I really like the condiment recipes, like lemon vinegrette and sundried tomato pesto. Every sandwich I have made has been much better then expected. Even the really simple recipes seem to turn out excellent. Includes pita, wraps, tortilla, and traditional sandwiches. I highly recommend this book.
