Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
TikTok creator Han shares inventive sandwich options in his colorful debut. Han, who vaulted to stardom with his grandmother's shrimp toast recipe, excels at riffing on American classics: there are Buffalo wings on a baguette with blue cheese dressing, two types of New Orleans--style po'boys, and grilled cheese with tomato soup. He defines sandwich broadly enough to encompass a Peking duck wrap and egg rolls filled with cabbage and carrots. These camera-ready sandwiches are complex creations with multiple components; in Han's world, making a PBJ with banana entails grinding the peanut butter and making berry jam from scratch. There's nothing timid about the flavors or the calorie counts either: a bagel is loaded with cream cheese and latkes, waffles are used as the bread for fried chicken sandwiches topped with honey and butter, and a hero with breaded and fried veal cutlets incorporates a creamy vodka sauce. A dessert chapter features a stunning sandwich of fruit suspended in whipped cream that is mosaic-like when cut. Three bread recipes and a selection of pickles, sauces, and sides round out this freewheeling collection. It's a must for anyone looking to take their sandwich game to the next level. (Oct.)
