Trade Review"Chef Freeman (
Easy Beans) ably proves a good sandwich is more than just 'slapping ingredients between two slices of bread' in this innovative and enticing collection."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"For many of us, the vegetable sandwich is an elusive concept—often thought of as a soggy, hummus-bearing concoction. But Freeman challenges that idea, exemplifying how to turn plant-based building blocks, like avocados and beans, into a number of innovative, architecturally sound sandwiches."
