BOOK REVIEW: ‘Wichcraft by Tom Colicchio, Sisha Ortúzar and
Rhona Silverbush
The classic filling between two pieces of bread, the
sandwich, is a humble and easily fixed meal in any part of the world. Anything
can go into a sandwich, cold cuts of meat and cheese for that gourmet touch or
yesterday’s leftovers for a quick fix. But getting bored of the same
sandwiches? ‘Wichcraft gives you a hand in preparing sandwich after sandwich
with no two bearing the same fillings.
With acclaimed restaurants located across the US, 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 this book, the author 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.
Routine staples are refashioned into unforgettable meals,
like Onion Frittata with Roasted Tomato and Cheddar. ‘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-colour photographs, recipes for pantry items
include 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.
