The New York Earl of Sandwich



The only thing super upsetting about this cookbook is I've never eaten one of Tyler Kord's sandwiches.  You'd be upset too, after reading this book.

OK, the other thing this book upsets is...our preconceived notions of what a sandwich can be.  I didn't grow up eating sandwiches, and it was really something relegated to a school lunch.  Even then, we always liked our food piping hot, so room temperature sandwiches were met with dread and disdain. Ham and cheese. Turkey and cheese.  Nitrates and cheese.   No bologna.

If only Tyler Kord had opened his shop in Akron, Ohio!   No matter, thanks to Blogging for Books, I know better.  Roasted broccoli and lychee sandwiches.  Hmm.  A General Tso sauce over fried tofu that can make you proud and salivate instead of squirm and apologize?   Broccoli falafel sandwiches. Tyler had me at roast beef -- that is, from the beginning -- with his irreverent sear.

This book will make you laugh and crave a zucchini parm sandwich at the same time.

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.

Cook Korean!


Cook Korean is a fun.  You don't even have to like cooking, or be an aficionado of Korean food to enjoy this comic book, but I bet after looking at these graphics, you will feel hungry and inspired.  The recipes are easy and inviting.  Steamed eggplant. Beef and daikon soup.  Watermelon soju.  Robin Ha has your palate covered.  This comic book would make a great gift to a young cook.
