Soups, Salads, and Sandwiches

My mom, my sisters, and I take every opportunity to have a little girl time together. We have enjoyed trips to Los Angeles, New York, and even as far away as South Africa. We enjoy shopping and, of course, eating. My oldest sister Leslie’s favorite food is the sandwich. I still remember our trip to Philadelphia and her quest to find the best cheesesteak sandwich. On another trip, Leslie and I visited a deli and became such big fans of the Reuben that I came home and created a version just for this cookbook. While we like delicious large sandwiches, we also enjoy the small, delicate sandwiches that are served with high tea, chicken salad being our favorite. From big to small, from hearty to delicate, the sandwich, soup, and salad recipes here will become favorites of your family and friends.
