In celebration of his brand-new cookbook, Sandwiches of History creator Barry Enderwick is hitting the road to share the history of his wildly popular internet deep-dive on all things sandwich.
During this segment filmed in January at WBUR CitySpace, special guest star Julia Collin Davidson, executive editorial director for America’s Test Kitchen, joined Enderwick for a live sandwich-making demonstration featuring audience-suggested “plus ups,” Enderwick’s signature technique for taking good sandwiches and making them great.
About “Sandwiches of History: The Cookbook”
The ultimate book for the sandwich connoisseur (or even the sandwich curious): nearly 100 recipes spanning the centuries, from the most well-known to obscure but delicious sandwiches.
Ah, sandwiches. They’re everywhere. But what’s the story behind the club, the Cuban, or the hot brown? Through his various social media platforms, Barry Enderwick has been exploring all things sandwich for years. In “Sandwiches of History: The Cookbook,” for the first time, he has taken the source material for dozens of sandwiches and painstakingly recreated them — staying as faithful as possible to every original sandwich, while providing much more guidance on successfully making each one. From the classics, like the Cucumber Tea Sandwich or The Sophisticated Club Sandwich, to the out-of-the-box, like The Hot Chicken Tuna Sandwich and the Mock Banana Sandwich, Barry provides not only recipes, but interesting information and fun facts that pertain to them. Chapters include:
- Tea and Snack Sandwiches
- Club Sandwiches
- Surprising Sandwiches
- Vegetarian Sandwiches
- International Sandwiches
- Open Faced and Sauced Sandwiches
- Sweet Sandwiches
And that’s not all! Barry also includes his signature “plus ups” for taking good sandwiches and making them great, as well as a handful of full sandwich remixes. There’s an argument to be made that this is the greatest thing since, well, sliced bread.
