Product Description
Panini are little sandwiches that are put through a press that warms up the filling and gives the bread a delicious grilled flavor. Ten years ago, you would have had to get on a plane and gone to Italy to enjoy one, but today you can find panini everywhere--in Italian restaurants, restaurant chains like Panera, even higher-end supermarkets are selling panini in their take-out foods sections. Because its popularity, the panini press (think a small George Foreman Grill) has become the hottest selling small appliance on the market. Everyone is selling them. Williams-Sonoma and Sur La Table carry brands like LeCreuset, All-Clad, and Krups, while Target sells a Hamilton Beach model for less than $50 and Wal-Mart a Breadman version for $39.95.
Panini Express contains easy recipes for 70 deliciously different sandwiches you can make using your panini press. Panini Express does not confine itself only to authentic Italian Panini recipes, but instead will explore a world of flavors (like the Catskill Cubano with ham, turkey, Swiss, and a hoisin-lime dressing). In addition to the sandwich recipes, there are recipes for four homemade breads if you want your sandwiches completely from scratch, as well as for mayonnaises, spreads, and other tasty sandwich slathers to up the flavor quotient.

This cookbook doesn't do me very much good here where I live. That is because the stores don't carry a lot of the stuff called for. Maybe if I lived in New York City or some other big city it might be okay.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Great panini recipes, along with great spread recipes. Simple and straight forward, this is a book that should be recommended with panini grills.

This is a great addition to my cook book collection. The sandwiches in this book are off the beaten path by using odd ingredients. The several that we have tried so far have been great! There are recipes for different types of breads and sauces that I suggest using otherwise the sandwich will not come out right. Especially when it comes to the different breads. We tried a focaccia bread from Panera but it was to thick. The different breads were the hardest part of the recipes. All in all I am glad that I have this book. We have had a lot of fun with it.

Yes, this is this is by the Daniel Leader who wrote Bread Alone and Local Breads, two incredible books on authentic artisan bread baking. This sandwich book is a wonderful resource for home bakers and non-bakers alike. The recipes for the spreads and chutneys are fantastic and can be used for dishes other than sandwiches.
You might think, "Doesn't everyone know how to build a sandwich??" Well, yes, but Leader's combinations are particularly delicious. Some are obvious, but are still excellent inspriration for when you have leftovers you do not know what to do with.
I definitely recommend this book. Unfortunately, there are numerous typographical errors. Fortunately his formulae are reliable. (Local Breads is full of similarly annoying and distracting errors, so hopefully Leader's editors will become more vigilant in future editions and for future books).
