It isn’t often I find a cookbook that is as entertaining to read as it is inspiring in it’s cooking advice, but A Super Upsetting Cookbook About Sandwiches by chef Tyler Kord is one to check out. Kord, owner of the No 7 Sub shops in New York (that I’ll definitely need to visit if I ever get the chance) writes in an engaging voice and offers useful cooking advice as well. From its tongue in cheek foreword by Emma Straub to Kord’s sandwich theory and practices, the book is infused with humor and good tips.

Sandwiches may seem a simple enough concept not to really need a whole book devoted to them, but Kord really pushes the envelope on this comfort food without making things too complicated. In particular, I loved that he includes recipes for making just about every ingredient in the sandwich aside from the bread yourself. I also appreciated the variety of tastes catered to, and, in spite of plenty of tempting roast beef, chicken, sausage, meatloaf, and seafood sandwiches, vegetarian and even vegan recipes are not neglected either and look just as tasty. The photos look delicious and the names of the sandwiches are just great, too.

As someone who enjoys cooking but perhaps finds myself a bit too unwilling to deviate from the recipe, I find the guidance and flexibility here might help me mix things up a bit. The Patty Melt!, made with Kord’s basic veggie burgers reminded me of the SWisconsin melts I used to crave at Culvers, and I made some really nice homemade steak sauce for the Gold Hat breakfast burger. I’m definitely looking to try out some more recipes!

I write about some other interesting cookbooks I checked out from the library, which has given me plenty of culinary experiments to try out during our quarantine times in this entry of Harris' Tome Corner!

If you've heard anything about this, you've probably heard that it's a funny, edgy cookbook. Like Thug Kitchen or something—except that's garbage, and Tyler Kord's sandwich book is wonderful and absolutely hilarious. Nothing I type here can describe his "humor" in a way that sounds any funnier than "a funny book about sandwiches", but if you can snag just a few paragraphs of it somewhere, you'll probably be convinced: he's a great writer. And a great thinker, I'd add; I found myself vigorously nodding along with most of his opinions and advice here. Also it's a genuinely good cookbook, and the recipes herein are for far more than just "sandwiches". My Book of The Year 2016.… (mehr)

I think I can honestly say this cookbook is unique and unlike any other I have ever read or owned. I laughed out loud so many times while reading it, it should have been a crime. So, I'd like to make a toast, (or rather raise my asparagus sandwich) to Tyler Kord for making it okay for me, or anyone else for that matter, to have a sandwich anyway I want. To hell with what everyone else thinks!

Of course, if I'm really really honest, I'm not sure I'm going to try a lot of the recipes in this book (especially the difficult and time consuming ones) because frankly, I'm just too lazy for that. But, I loved the book nonetheless because it made me think about all the ways I could make a sandwich with unexpected ingredients. Some of my favorite recipes in this book were the Famous Rap Battles of History, Don't Cry for me Argentina and pretty much anything that included meatloaf. I really like the fact that recipes for sauces and topping were included. I liked the recipe for Mayo and all the additions one could add to make an interesting variation. I've never made Mayo, again I'm lazy, but I like to think that one day I might give it a try, just to see if I can.

Overall, this was a fun and entertaining book. It's good for anyone who loves making sandwiches, and it's perfect for those who want to be creative with their sandwiches.

Thanks to Blogging for Books for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

A quick enjoyable cookbook, full of fun anecdotes, great pictures, and amazing recipes. I will admit upfront that I have not made any of the recipes (YET!) but I definitely want to try some of these delectable sandwiches. They are all wildly unique and involve ingredients that you don't normally think have any place on a sandwich (broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, etc.) and as such can require a little more prep than most people normally put into making a sandwich. Over half the recipes involve meat, but with some imagination it would be easy to substitute vegetarian replacements for a weirdo herbivore like me. The Shadiest One is the recipe I'm dying to try out the most, it involves avocado, ricotta cheese, lemon, bread, cheddar cheese, cucumber muchim, and fried shallots. Tell me that doesn't sound amazing?!?!? Some others that sound like heaven on earth are: The Battle of Shanghai (general tso's tofu, spaghetti squash salad, pickled ginger, shiso, mayo), Zucchini Parm (fried zucchini, fontina, onion puree, pickled jaleponos, bbq potato chips), Taken 2 (broccoli falafel, fennel puree, muchim pickles, tomatoes), among dozens others. Seriously, what an awesome cookbook from the owner of the No. 7 shops in New York.

I received this book for free from Blogging for Books in return for my honest, unbiased review.
