Simple Italian Sandwiches, Cookbook of the Day

Simple and sandwich are two words that were made to go together. The whole idea of a sandwich is that it is a meal all in one portable, easy to prepare and easier to eat package. But "simple" doesn't mean that sandwiches all have to use processed meats and pre-packaged bread. Simple Italian Sandwiches is a book that draws inspiration from the Italian panini grill to create a wide array of surprisingly elegant, yet easy, sandwiches. The pictures are gorgeous and will certainly put you in the mood to try out at least a few of the recipes.

In essence, this is Italian fast food. The recipes use Italian breads and ingredients that will be well-known to lovers of Mediterranean food, such as tomatoes, artichokes, goat cheese, prosciutto and pancetta. There are many Italian cheeses used, as well, and mozzarella is not the only one with a starring role. That said, you should still be able to find all the necessary ingredients at a well-stocked supermarket, but a good-quality deli can supply you with the same.

In addition to using the panini grill to make pressed and toasted sandwiches, the book includes a number of open-faced sandwiches, snacks, antipasti and salads, so there is plenty of variety.
