Slow-roasted meats, marinated vegetables, surprising flavor
combinations, this is not your mother's sandwich.
With acclaimed restaurants located across the United States, and a
high-profile job as head judge of the hit show Top Chef,
Tom Colicchio is one of the best-known chefs and personalities in
the culinary world today. His popular chain of 'wichcraft sandwich
shops is known for crafting sandwiches with high-quality fresh
ingredients prepared to Colicchio's exacting standards. And since
the first 'wichcraft opened in 2003, diners can't seem to get
enough.
In 'wichcraft, Colicchio shares the shops' secrets with
step-by-step recipes for all their best-loved offerings. You'll
learn how to create new classics like Roasted Turkey with Avocado,
Bacon, Onion Marmalade, and Mayonnaise, and Sicilian Tuna with
Fennel, Black Olives, and Lemon; and elevate basic cold cuts
through imaginative combinations like Smoked Ham with Avocado and
Butter, and Salami with Marinated Cauliflower and Bitter Greens.
Routine staples are refashioned into unforgettable meals, like
Onion Frittata with Roasted Tomato and Cheddar, and Slow-Roasted
Pork with Red Cabbage, Jalapeños, and Mustard. 'wichcraft
is stuffed with sandwiches like these, and many more, that will add
something special to both your lunchbox and your life.
With 100 full-color photographs, recipes for pantry items including
dressings and condiments, and a host of sandwich cookies and ice
cream treats to round out your meals, this is the book to get a
little 'wichcraft magic going in your own kitchen.
