About the Book:

Never have a boring lunch again. Sandwiches are great for an easy-going, laid back meal. If you are tired of the same old peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, then this free cookbook is the sandwich recipe source for you!

Use ‘Delicious Sandwich, Wrap & Bun Recipes’ to make great sandwiches to share at your next picnic, backyard party or drinks party.

Here are three to get you started!:

Avocado Bacon Sandwiches

1/4 pound bacon slices, chopped
1 ripe avocado
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter, softened
4 large slices whole wheat bread
Lemon twist and parsley sprig, to garnish
Fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Peel avocado, taking care not to remove bright green flesh just inside the skin. Cut in half and remove seed. In a bowl, mash avocado, then stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Butter two slices of bread. Spread avocado mixture on buttered sides of 2 bread slices. Scatter bacon over avocado. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered sides down, and press together.
Cut off bread crusts. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles. Arrange on a serving plate, garnished with a lemon twist and parsley sprig.

Beef Sandwiches with Onion Marmalade

Serves 4.
3/4 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef

1 cup white or yellow onion, chopped
1 cup purple onion, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dash ground gloves
4 French rolls (6-inches)
4 endive or lettuce leaves
To make Onion Marmalade, sauté onions in oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat 1 hour or until very tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and ground cloves. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally 25-30 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Cool completely.
Refrigerate in a tightly covered container up to 1 week.
To assemble sandwiches, bring onion mixture to room temperature. Place endive or lettuce leaves on bottom halves of toasted rolls. Arrange beef over endive. Spread onion mixture evenly over beef. Place top halves on rolls. Cut each sandwich in half.

Cuban Sandwich

Use leftover Roast Pork a la Criolla for this sandwich if you have any. This sandwich is a favorite in Miami, Florida, as it was first made by the Hispanic community there. Since it is eaten in the wee hours, after an evening of dancing and music, the Cuban Sandwich is sometimes known as «Medica Noche» (midnight), especially when made on the soft, sweet egg sandwich roll available from Cuban bakeries.
Split a Cuban or a submarine roll in half lengthwise; spread each roll half with prepared mustard and layer sandwich with one ounce each thinly sliced roast pork, Swiss cheese and deli ham; add sliced dill or bread and butter pickles and close sandwich. Lightly butter outside surface of roll and grill on a hot griddle or in a 400 degrees F oven until lightly toasted and cheese is melted

About the Book:

If you are cooking on a budget, this free book of recipes is designed to ensure you and those around you are eat good, nourishing food, while being practical, and economical. And that you minimize food waste at the same time. It is important to consider that your food choices have consequences for the folks who consume your meals.

Intended to inspire you, these recipes are easy to prepare and are adaptable to your taste and of course the price of available ingredients. So you don’t have to follow a recipes precisely or make it again in exactly the same way. These recipes are vegetable based but you may of course can replace with meat if you wish.

The structure of this cookbook reflects the way I think people ought to approach home cooking—loosely and confidently, with an intent to answer the basic questions that animate life.

For example, when I make a meal, I am simultaneously trying to answer several questions. What do I, and those I’m feeding, feel hungry for? What do I have on hand or left over from other meals? How can I use healthy produce, unfamiliar ingredients, or fresh food from local farms and businesses? How can I incorporate my favourite flavours?

As I answer these questions, I ensure that I am eating well and nourishing those around me. That I am practical and frugal. That I am conscious that my food choices have consequences for others. That I want to limit waste. And that I want to make the best, most lively food for me and those I love to feed.

These are not small decisions. They have a great deal of weight, yet we make them every day, often without thinking. Cooking regularly makes you more conscious about these decisions. It is empowering to be in control of what you eat and to realize that your food choices have as much power to shape society as they do to quell your hunger.

I want you to be able to answer all these questions for yourself. That is why my recipes are open and adaptable. They are meant to inspire, to remind you that you don’t have to follow a recipe exactly or make a sandwich the same way twice. These recipes happen to be vegetarian because I am vegetarian, but they could as easily incorporate meat or anything you enjoy.

This is how I cook and how I believe others should look at food preparation—easy and practical and enhancing each day. Cooking should not be a chore, but something to look forward to. Food should make you feel more alive, more socially connected. I hope this free PDF book can help you with that.
