Cult Sandwiches - the ultimate guide to iconic things-in-bread from around the world

"A beautifully designed tome ... a loving and energetic culinary world tour" - The Observer

From New York to Macau and from London to Guadalajara, there is no food more democratic, or currently more coveted, than the sandwich.

Part travel inspo and part foodie bible, Cult Sandwiches is the ultimate guide to 100 iconic things-in-bread from around the world. Food writer David Paw delves into the details of specific sandwiches from destination delis and cafés such as Langer's in LA and Er Buchetto in Rome, as well as exploring national icons like Tunisia's fricassé and Japan's ichigo sando.

Cult Sandwiches will tell you what and where the most delicious sandwiches are and how they're made, and chews over the origins of mouth-watering classics and the cultural significance of this most humble of meals.
