In "Sandwiches" by Sarah Tyson Heston Rorer, readers are treated to a delightful exploration of the world of sandwiches. In this wonderfully written culinary book, Rorer showcases her expertise and creativity in crafting delicious and diverse sandwich recipes that are bound to satisfy all taste buds.

Rorer's writing style is clear and engaging, making the book not only a valuable cookbook but also an enjoyable read. She begins by explaining the history and cultural significance of sandwiches, providing a fascinating backdrop to the recipes that follow. From there, she dives into an extensive collection of recipes, varying in ingredients and styles, ensuring there is a sandwich for everyone.

What stands out most in "Sandwiches" is Rorer's attention to detail and utmost dedication to quality.

My only critique of "Sandwiches" is the lack of visuals. While Rorer's descriptions are vivid and evocative, a few mouthwatering photos would have added an extra layer of appeal and inspiration. Visual representations of the finished sandwiches would further entice readers to experiment and try new recipes.
